The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

Past consents include an extension, a conservatory, tree works and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1996–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year.

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 West Burdens is modelled from its 150 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales 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. 3 sales are recorded for West Burdens. 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 West Burdens was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 2020, 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. 9 applications are matched to West Burdens. 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
- West Burdens 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.
