In the Spotlight 💡 Coventry Budget: <= £250,000 Strategy: Flip (with energy uplift potential) Focus on: CV1, CV2, CV6 (as requested) After looking at 143837 property transactions over a 25 year period, hundreds of thousands of EPC certificates for every street in Coventry, and pairing it with other datasets here are the results: Zoomed Out to look at the sector data: CV2 and CV6 outperform most other postcodes for flipping. CV2’s high velocity (up to 13.79) and low medians (£105,500-£131,500) make it ideal for quick, profitable flips. CV6 matches with velocity (up to 17.01) and even lower medians (£95,000-£150,000), plus higher price growth in CV6 7 (6.81%). CV1 is viable in CV1 2 and CV1 5 but lags due to lower velocity (0.70-5.98) and flat-heavy sectors. CV5 is a strong contender with similar metrics to CV2/CV6. CV6 4’s velocity gives it an edge. CV3, CV4, CV7, and CV8 are less competitive due to higher prices, lower terraced shares, or weaker growth/velocity. Top Streets in Coventry for flipping and high energy uplift potential: CV1 Cheveral Avenue £210,000 median, terraced, 0.93 transactions/month, 20.53-point energy uplift, £300.17/year savings. Morris Avenue £245,000 median, terraced, 0.52 transactions/month, 18.06-point energy uplift, £380.25/year savings. Mellowdew Road £247,000 median, terraced, 0.41 transactions/month, 21.47-point energy uplift, £365.71/year savings. CV2 Whoberley Avenue £240,000 median, terraced, 0.74 transactions/month, 24.00-point energy uplift, £551.91/year savings. Lavender Avenue £246,000 median, terraced, 0.45 transactions/month, 24.23-point energy uplift, £452.95/year savings. Forfield Road £265,000 median (min £180,000), terraced, 0.37 transactions/month, 22.58-point energy uplift, £325.11/year savings. CV6 Abbey Road £253,500 median (min £210,500), terraced, 0.43 transactions/month, 25.30-point energy uplift, £525.35/year savings. Oldfield Road £248,000 median, terraced, 0.59 transactions/month, 15.89-point energy uplift, £239.68/year savings. Lincroft Crescent £255,000 median (min £180,000), terraced, 0.62 transactions/month, 18.95-point energy uplift, £257.36/year savings. Why these streets? Because low median prices and terraced/semi-detached properties ensure affordability and renovation potential, while high transaction frequency and energy uplifts boost resale value and speed. For example, a £210,000 terraced house on Cheveral Avenue (CV1) with £20,000 in upgrades (cosmetic + energy) could sell for £260,000-£280,000, yielding a 10-15% profit after costs, enhanced by a 20.53-point EPC uplift. Don’t skimp on energy upgrades! Who’s got the next target 🎯? *this is not financial advice*
