8 Ashby Close, Binley, Coventry, CV3 2LN

8 Ashby Close is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Binley, Coventry, Coventry (CV3 2LN). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1380 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since July 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 465.1% above the 1996 sale of £43,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 71.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
