1 Fernden Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU4 7BW). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 sits 90% above the 2007 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£318/sq ft) was about 72.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
