Overview

About 1 Oak Cottages

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

1 Oak Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU4 7PS). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1061 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in January 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £592,000 sits 336.9% above the 1999 sale of £135,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Oak Cottages is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 7PS. 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 1 Oak Cottages. 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 1 Oak Cottages was lodged in February 2010 at band E and expired in February 2020, 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 1 Oak Cottages. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU4 7PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Oak Cottages is in council tax band E. 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.
