Local market context
18 Wycliffe Buildings is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 4BW). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 53 m² this is the 21st smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 21–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2018 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
