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.

At 192 m² it's 26.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (262 m² median across 21 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in August 2012. Today's modelled estimate of £1,717,000 is 37.4% above the 2012 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
