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.
