Overview

About 1 Sycamore Road

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

1 Sycamore Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in February 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £555,000 sits 101.8% above the 2007 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 15.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
