About Yew Cottage

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

Yew Cottage is a detached house in Wonersh, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 0RU). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 103), a 4-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £540,000 sits 184.2% above the 2000 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 37.5% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs).
