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.

Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 51.7% above the 2013 sale of £315,000. At 102 m² it sits well below the postcode median (186 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16a is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CV7 7DZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 16a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16a was lodged in July 2012 at band E and expired in July 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 16a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV7 7DZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
