About The White House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The White House is a detached house in Shere, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 292 m² (around 3143 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
At 292 m² the property is well over the postcode median (158 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 The White House is modelled from its 292 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9QQ. 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 The White House. 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 The White House was lodged in May 2025 at band F and is valid until May 2035. 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 The White House. 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 9QQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The White House is in council tax band H. 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.
