Overview

About 16 College Road

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

16 College Road is a semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 4QG). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2017 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 sits 76% above the 2017 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 25.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 98 m² it's 20.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 22 EPCs). Last sold in July 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
