About The Maples
The Maples is a detached house in Guildford (GU4 7AX). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 48.9% below the postcode norm.
