The Oaks, Balsall Street, Balsall Common, Coventry, CV7 7AS

The Oaks is a detached house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7AS). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 88 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 sits 64.7% above the 2013 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£317/sq ft) was about 48.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
