About 3 Castle Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Castle Hill is a property in Guildford (GU1 3SX). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 305 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band H. At 28 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (28–488 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 20 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
23 planning records sit against the property, 20 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, partial demolition and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (51 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,925,000 is 14.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£8,356/sq ft) was about 1247.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £2,550,000 in January 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 3 Castle Hill is modelled from its 28 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 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 3 Castle Hill was lodged in August 2010 at band E and expired in August 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 23 applications are matched to 3 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
- 3 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.
