About Ivy Nook
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ivy Nook is a detached house in Meriden, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 112), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 sits 125.6% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 44.7% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 148 m² it's 27.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (205 m² median across 4 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ivy Nook is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CV7 7JJ. 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 Ivy Nook. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ivy Nook was lodged in June 2026 at band D and is valid until June 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Ivy Nook. 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 3 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV7 7JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ivy Nook is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
