Overview

About 20 Ferndale Road

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

20 Ferndale Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Marchwood, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 4XR). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 sits 61.8% above the 2009 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 19% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 20 Ferndale Road is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 4XR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 20 Ferndale Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 20 Ferndale Road was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 20 Ferndale Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SO40 4XR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
20 Ferndale Road is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
