Overview

About 17 St Thomas Close

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

17 St Thomas Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chilworth, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 887 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 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 -5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £474,000 sits 66.3% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£321/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 82 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 21 EPCs).
