About The Oaks
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £487,000 sits 62.3% 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 13 years.

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 The Oaks is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CV7 7AS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for The Oaks. 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 The Oaks was lodged in December 2015 at band F and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to The Oaks. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CV7 7AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Oaks is in council tax band E. 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.
