Overview

About Flat 2

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

Flat 2 is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 9UB). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 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. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 42% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 16.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 43 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU2 9UB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in February 2021 at band C and is valid until February 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 2. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU2 9UB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
