About 16 Fern Gardens
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Fern Gardens is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Belton, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR31 9QY). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 62.5% above the 2009 sale of £120,000.
