South Hall, Castle Hill, Guildford, GU1 3SX
About South Hall
South Hall is a detached house in Guildford (GU1 3SX). It has a recorded floor area of 485 m² (around 5220 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £2,667,000 is 38.7% below the 2016 sale of £4,350,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. At 485 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 27 planning records sit against the property, 25 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in September 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
