Overview

About 12 Alder Lane

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

12 Alder Lane is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. At 49 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (49–372 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 28 units on file. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (186 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.
