Overview

About 3 Downside Road

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

3 Downside Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU4 8PH). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2063 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,993,000 sits 59.4% above the 2012 sale of £1,250,000. At 192 m² it's 27.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (266 m² median across 22 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in August 2012.

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 3 Downside Road is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 8PH. 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 3 Downside 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 3 Downside Road was lodged in January 2012 at band E and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Downside 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU4 8PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Downside Road is in council tax band H. 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.
