Overview

About 1 Chaucer Court

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

1 Chaucer Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU2 4DB). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–134 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 29 units on file.

It hasn't traded since June 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 sits 57% above the 2011 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 15.2% below the postcode norm. At 51 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 28 EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Chaucer Court is modelled from its 51 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU2 4DB. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Chaucer Court. 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 1 Chaucer Court was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Chaucer Court. 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 4DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chaucer Court is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
