About 8b

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

8b is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 509 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 sits 60.5% above the 2004 sale of £205,000.
