Overview

About 553 Ferndale Road

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

553 Ferndale Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swindon (SN2 1DG). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Most recent transfer: October 2021 at £210,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 18.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 78% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
