Overview

About 20 Fern Drive

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

20 Fern Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Taplow, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 0JS). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 129 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £612,000 is 22.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
