Overview

About 16a

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

16a is a detached house in Balsall Common, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. 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.

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). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 43.2% above the 2013 sale price.
