Overview

About Derry Hill Cottage

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

Derry Hill Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Blackheath, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8QY). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2024. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £1,150,000 sits 58.6% above the 2009 sale of £725,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£586/sq ft) was about 65.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 115 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (141 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Derry Hill Cottage is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 8QY. 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 Derry Hill Cottage. 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 Derry Hill Cottage was lodged in May 2025 at band F and is valid until May 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Derry Hill Cottage. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU4 8QY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Derry Hill Cottage is in council tax band G. 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.
