Overview

About Printing House Square

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

Printing House Square is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Guildford (GU1 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2019) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. At 77 m² this is the 36th smallest of 62 units on EPC record in Printing House Square, where floor areas span 34–217 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£474/sq ft) was about 25.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
