Overview

About 8 James Road

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

8 James Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Peasmarsh, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 1NF). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2002–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £573,000 sits 50% above the 2011 sale of £382,000. At 105 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 23 EPCs). Last sold in October 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
