How 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 William House is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU2 4AZ. 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 William House. 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 William House was lodged in April 2015 at band C and expired in April 2025, 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. 5 applications are matched to William House. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU2 4AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
