Overview

About 8 Douglas Close

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

8 Douglas Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU4 7PB). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2023) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 sits 76% above the 2009 sale of £312,500.
