About 3 Fernwood
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Fernwood is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Benfleet (SS7 2LT). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 65.6% above the 2007 sale of £212,500. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
