About Wancom Paly
Wancom Paly is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Compton, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 213 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2014–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,006,000 is 18.4% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£371/sq ft) was about 54.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £850,000 in May 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
