About 2 Old Cottages

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 17 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 £646,000 sits 51.1% 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.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2 Old Cottages is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 0TB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Old Cottages. 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 2 Old Cottages was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 2 Old Cottages. 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 1 school and 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 0TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Old Cottages is in council tax band E. 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.
