About Apartment 26

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

Apartment 26 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. At 62 m² this is the 28th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 33 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 is 39.2% below the 2007 sale of £267,950, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£402/sq ft) was about 46.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
