Overview

About 7 Fern Bank

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

7 Fern Bank is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rainford, St. Helens, St Helens (WA11 8DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in January 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 45.9% above the 2016 sale price.
