About 429 Ferndale Road

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

429 Ferndale Road is a mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
