About Lychgate House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Lychgate House is a four-bedroom detached house in West Clandon, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8SF). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,289,000 is 17.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£524/sq ft) was about 139.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £1,100,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Lychgate House is modelled from its 195 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU4 8SF. 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 Lychgate House. 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 Lychgate House was lodged in December 2020 at band E and is valid until December 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Lychgate House. 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 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU4 8SF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Lychgate House 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.
