Overview

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 30 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 £1,053,000 sits 389.8% above the 1996 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 72.7% 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).
