Overview

About Downswood

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

Downswood is a four-bedroom detached house in Worplesdon, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 3PS). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 166 m² it's 24.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (133 m² median across 5 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,098,000 is 36.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£451/sq ft) was about 15.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Downswood is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU3 3PS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Downswood. 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 Downswood was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Downswood. 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 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU3 3PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Downswood 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.
