2 Moorside Cottages is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Elstead, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 6LN). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in August 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £888,000 sits 66% above the 2008 sale of £535,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
