Overview

About 1 Chester Close

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

1 Chester Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 9TE). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 is 13.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£491/sq ft) was about 53.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2022 at £412,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
