About 239 Ferndale Road
239 Ferndale Road is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 38 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 29 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 52.3% above the 2005 sale of £77,500.
