Overview

About 5 Top Road

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

5 Top Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnacle, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 9LE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 45.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 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 5 Top Road is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CV7 9LE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Top Road. 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 5 Top Road was lodged in November 2014 at band F and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Top Road. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CV7 9LE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Top Road is in council tax band B. 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.
