About 8 Simmons Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Simmons Court is a semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 623 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 58 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 15 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–84 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 sits 216.5% above the 2009 sale of £68,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Simmons Court is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU1 1DJ. 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 8 Simmons Court. 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 8 Simmons Court was lodged in November 2008 at band B and expired in November 2018, 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. 2 applications are matched to 8 Simmons Court. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU1 1DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Simmons Court 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.
