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

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 South Hall is modelled from its 485 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for South Hall. 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 South Hall was lodged in April 2013 at band F and expired in April 2023, 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. 27 applications are matched to South Hall. 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
- South Hall 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.
