Overview

About 2 Old Cottages

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

2 Old Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shamley Green, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 0TB). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 854 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £687,000 sits 60.7% above the 2009 sale of £427,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£500/sq ft) was about 93.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (176 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2018.
