Yew Tree Cottage, Heath Lane, Albury, Guildford, GU5 9DD

Yew Tree Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Albury, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9DD). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £1,071,000 sits 56.4% above the 2009 sale of £685,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£501/sq ft) was about 16.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
