Overview

About 5 Alex Grierson Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

5 Alex Grierson Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Binley, Coventry, Coventry (CV3 2QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 853 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 63% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Alex Grierson Close is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV3 2QJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Alex Grierson Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Alex Grierson Close was lodged in July 2009 at band D and expired in July 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 5 Alex Grierson Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV3 2QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Alex Grierson Close is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
