About 1 Babbacombe Road
1 Babbacombe Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Coventry (CV3 5PE). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1400 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. 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 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £461,000 sits 70.7% above the 2009 sale of £270,000.
