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.

Overview

About 17 Ferris Avenue

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

It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 17 Ferris Avenue is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6HZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Ferris Avenue. 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 17 Ferris Avenue was lodged in May 2026 at band D and is valid until May 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Ferris Avenue. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Ferris Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
