36b, Recreation Road, Guildford, GU1 1HP
About 36b
36b is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Guildford (GU1 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 20.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £307,000 is 22.8% above the 2009 sale price.
