Overview

About 30a

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

30a is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gomshall, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9LS). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. At 101 m² this is the 24th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–116 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 50% above the 2015 sale of £204,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 44.9% below the postcode norm. 11 years since the last transfer (August 2015). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 30a is modelled from its 101 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9LS. 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 30a. 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 30a was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, 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 30a. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9LS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
30a is in council tax band C. 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.
