How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Babbacombe Road is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV3 5PE. 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.

About 1 Babbacombe Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £444,000 sits 64.4% above the 2009 sale of £270,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 130 m² it's 23.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Babbacombe Road is modelled from its 130 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV3 5PE. 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 1 Babbacombe Road. 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 1 Babbacombe Road was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 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 1 Babbacombe Road. 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 23 schools and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV3 5PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Babbacombe Road is in council tax band F. 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.
