Green Roof Cottage, Shere Road, West Clandon, Guildford, GU4 8SF

Green Roof Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in West Clandon, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8SF). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1999 — that's 27 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 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (141 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £874,000 sits 280% above the 1999 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 73.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
