Overview

About The Crofters Cottage

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

The Crofters Cottage is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Woking (GU21 4AL). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in April 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £802,000 is 22.4% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£525/sq ft) was about 89.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
