Overview

About 16 Fern Close

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

16 Fern Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Birchwood, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 7NU). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
