Overview

About The Latch

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The Latch is a semi-detached house in Berkswell, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7AY). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (197 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in June 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 is 47% above the 2014 sale price.
