About Fern Bank

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

Fern Bank is a detached house in St. Clears, Carmarthen, Carmarthen (SA33 4AN). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
