Overview

About 3 Ferndale Road

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

3 Ferndale Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Marchwood, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 4XR). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1245 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 is 48% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

Method

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 3 Ferndale Road is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 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 3 Ferndale Road was lodged in January 2011 at band E and expired in January 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 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
3 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.
