About 5 Coventry Close
5 Coventry Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stevenage (SG1 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include subdivision and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
