Overview

About 8 Brocks Drive

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

8 Brocks Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Fairlands, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 3ND). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 101 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 31.6% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£405/sq ft) was about 22.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
