Overview

About 4 Ferndown Close

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

4 Ferndown Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Hempstead, Gillingham, Gillingham (ME7 3SN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 is 31% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 64.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (February 2017). At 100 m² it's 20.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 4 Ferndown Close is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME7 3SN. 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 4 Ferndown Close. 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 4 Ferndown Close was lodged in July 2016 at band C and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Ferndown Close. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME7 3SN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Ferndown Close is in council tax band E. 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.
