About 3 Fern Bank
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Fern Bank is an end-of-terrace house in Liverpool (L31 6DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year.
