5 Holtwood Road, Oxshott, Leatherhead, KT22 0QL

5 Holtwood Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Oxshott, Leatherhead, Leatherhead (KT22 0QL). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 288 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. At 27 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (27–697 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 22 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £912,000 is 52% below the 2009 sale of £1,900,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£6,599/sq ft) was about 742.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
