Coventry property market: common questions

Where is Coventry?

Coventry sits on the edge of West Midlands, covering about 32 square miles.

What is the average house price in Coventry?

The median asking price across the 1,271 homes for sale in Coventry is £240,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £180,000 and £330,000. That is 31% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Coventry went for a median £227,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Coventry rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Coventry is up 62% over the last 10 years and up 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Coventry cheaper than the UK?

Yes: asking prices in Coventry are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Coventry is £240,000 against £350k across the UK: 31% below the UK. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How many homes are for sale in Coventry?

1,271 homes are on the market in Coventry right now, 340 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Are house prices being cut in Coventry?

225 listings in Coventry had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 18% of the homes currently for sale.

How much do flats and houses cost in Coventry?

The median asking price for a flat in Coventry is £135,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £225,000 across 474 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Coventry?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Coventry is £140,000, across 149 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Coventry?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Coventry is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £230,000 across 292 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Coventry?

In Coventry, homes that sold went for a median £264 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £267 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,271 in Coventry), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Coventry since May 2026.
  • UK comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of UK, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
