34a, Nightingale Road, Guildford, GU1 1ER
About 34a
34a is a semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1ER). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 6 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 33 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 47 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–432 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 47 units on file.
Held since April 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 sits 128.7% above the 1999 sale of £80,005. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 36.3% below the postcode norm. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 46 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
