Overview

About 16 Chestnut Road

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

16 Chestnut Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1HG). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £563,000 sits 128.9% above the 2005 sale of £246,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 27.1% below the postcode norm.
