Overview

About 18 Josephs Road

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

18 Josephs Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1DW). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.

Held since October 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. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £559,000 sits 55.3% above the 2009 sale of £360,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£376/sq ft) was about 17.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
