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 £731,000 is 16% 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.

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 8 Orchard Road is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9HU. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 8 Orchard Road. 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 8 Orchard Road was lodged in October 2014 at band D and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Orchard Road. 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 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9HU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Orchard Road 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.
