The latest certificate (April 2018) 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.
It hasn't traded since July 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area.

Across 1998–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,435,000 sits 123.4% above the 2004 sale of £1,090,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 13 Castle Hill is modelled from its 288 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU1 3SX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 13 Castle Hill. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 13 Castle Hill was lodged in April 2018 at band E and is valid until April 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 13 Castle Hill. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU1 3SX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 13 Castle Hill is in council tax band H. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
