About 5 Oak Cottages
5 Oak Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Compton, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 1JA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1241 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 115 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 sits 50.8% above the 2009 sale of £425,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
