Overview

About 1 Chaucer House

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

1 Chaucer House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Guildford (GU1 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 is 44.4% above the 2008 sale price.
