Overview

About 30 Recreation Road

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

30 Recreation Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in November 2013. Today's modelled estimate of £694,000 is 41.6% above the 2013 sale price.
