Overview

About 61 Down Road

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

61 Down Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 2PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Other recorded features include a basement.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £723,000 sits 78.5% above the 2007 sale of £405,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
