Overview

About 16 Alder Lane

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

16 Alder Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 102 m² it sits well below the postcode median (181 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
