About Upper Garth
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Upper Garth is a semi-detached house in Shere, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9JF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 723 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£637/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 Upper Garth is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9JF. 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 Upper Garth. 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 Upper Garth was lodged in April 2011 at band D and expired in April 2021, 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. 7 applications are matched to Upper Garth. 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 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Upper Garth 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.
