Overview

About 1 Chestnut Avenue

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

1 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 4HD). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (174 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 Chestnut Avenue is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU2 4HD. 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 1 Chestnut Avenue. 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 Chestnut Avenue was lodged in December 2016 at band D and is valid until December 2026. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1 Chestnut Avenue. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU2 4HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chestnut Avenue is in council tax band E. 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.
