Overview

About Theobalds

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

Theobalds is a detached house in Blackheath, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8RB). It has a recorded floor area of 309 m² (around 3326 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 309 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £2,084,000 sits 455.7% above the 1996 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£113/sq ft) was about 75.3% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Theobalds is modelled from its 309 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 8RB. 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 Theobalds. 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 Theobalds was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, 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. 6 applications are matched to Theobalds. 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 8RB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Theobalds 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.
