Overview

About 3 Downing Avenue

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

3 Downing Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 7SY). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009.

The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £501,000 sits 100.4% above the 2008 sale of £250,000.
