Overview

About Pipers Wood

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

Pipers Wood is a detached house in Peaslake, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9RH). It has a recorded floor area of 249 m² (around 2680 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2015) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 5 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (149 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,701,000 sits 152% above the 2009 sale of £675,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 51.7% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

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 Pipers Wood is modelled from its 249 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 9RH. 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 Pipers Wood. 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 Pipers Wood was lodged in April 2015 at band B and expired in April 2025, 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. 4 applications are matched to Pipers Wood. 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 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 9RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Pipers Wood 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.
