How the estimate is made
The estimate for Barn Cottage is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9DN. 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.

About Barn Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Barn Cottage is a detached house in Albury, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9DN). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1271 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 118 m² it sits well below the postcode median (173 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Barn Cottage is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9DN. 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. No sale is recorded for Barn Cottage, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Barn Cottage was lodged in September 2009 at band F and expired in September 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 Barn Cottage. 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 20 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Barn Cottage 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.
