About Farley Green Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Farley Green Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Albury, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 334 m² (around 3597 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
At 334 m² the property is well over the postcode median (203 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £2,694,000 sits 51.8% above the 2013 sale of £1,775,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£493/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Farley Green Cottage is modelled from its 334 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9EQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Farley Green Cottage. 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 Farley Green Cottage was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 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. 7 applications are matched to Farley Green 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 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9EQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Farley Green Cottage is in council tax band A. 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.
