Overview

About 12 Ferrers Drive

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

12 Ferrers Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Grange Park, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 6HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 80 m² it's 25.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 6 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 69.6% above the 2006 sale of £177,500.

Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
