The Briars is a detached house in Chiddingfold, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4QF). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1234 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £770,000 sits 54% above the 2010 sale of £499,975. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
