About 16 Founder Close
16 Founder Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Coventry (CV4 8BS). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 78.3% above the 2008 sale of £87,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
