Overview

About 8 Orchard Road

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

8 Orchard Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shere, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9HU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer: January 2020 at £630,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 92 m² it's 26% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 16 EPCs). Across 1998–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £715,000 is 13.5% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£636/sq ft) was about 99.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2014.
