Overview

About Fernbank

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

Fernbank is a detached house in Brookwood, Woking, Woking (GU24 0EN). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 158 m² it sits well below the postcode median (239 m² across 5 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,256,000 is 43.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£514/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 Fernbank is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU24 0EN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Fernbank. 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 Fernbank was lodged in March 2015 at band F and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Fernbank. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU24 0EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
