About 17a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17a is a four-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU1 3TA). It has a recorded floor area of 267 m² (around 2874 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 267 m² the property is well over the postcode median (179 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,286,000 is 14.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in June 2016.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 17a is modelled from its 267 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU1 3TA. 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 17a. 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 17a was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 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. 4 applications are matched to 17a. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU1 3TA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17a is in council tax band G. 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.
