Overview

About 8 George Road

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

8 George Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 4NP). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2006 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £508,000 sits 104.8% above the 2006 sale of £248,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
