About 18 Beechcroft Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Beechcroft Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU2 7SA). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £525,000 sits 84.2% above the 2014 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£457/sq ft) was about 62.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 18 Beechcroft Drive is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU2 7SA. 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 18 Beechcroft Drive. 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 18 Beechcroft Drive was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Beechcroft Drive. 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.

- Council tax band
- 18 Beechcroft Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
