About The Chantry
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Chantry is a detached house in Guildford (GU2 4HD). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
Held since January 1996 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,026,000 sits 377.2% above the 1996 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 142 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (174 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).

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 The Chantry is modelled from its 142 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 The Chantry. 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 The Chantry was lodged in September 2023 at band E and is valid until September 2033. 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 The Chantry. 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
- The Chantry is in council tax band G. 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.
