Overview

About 8 Hawthorn Drive

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

8 Hawthorn Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7BF). It has a recorded floor area of 251 m² (around 2700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £830,000 sits 56.6% above the 2009 sale of £530,000. At 251 m² it's 19.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (210 m² median across 7 EPCs).
