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

It has a recorded floor area of 248 m² (around 2669 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good.

Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 36.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,687,000 sits 58.1% above the 2015 sale of £1,700,000.

Past consents include tree works, a garage conversion, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 The Old Orchard is modelled from its 248 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU3 1BD. 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 The Old Orchard. 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 The Old Orchard was lodged in January 2015 at band C and expired in January 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. 8 applications are matched to The Old Orchard. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU3 1BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Old Orchard is in council tax band G. 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.
