Overview

About 1 Hawthorn Drive

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

1 Hawthorn Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7BF). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 138 m² it sits well below the postcode median (232 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £729,000 is 26.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 93.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
