Overview

About 8 Dorking Road

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

8 Dorking Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chilworth, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8NR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) 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 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 is 46.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£399/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 8 Dorking Road is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 8NR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Dorking Road. 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 8 Dorking Road was lodged in November 2014 at band E and expired in November 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Dorking Road. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU4 8NR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Dorking Road is in council tax band D. 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.
