Astor analyst's read

Guildford — 1 active Article 4 direction on record (HMO-specific); zero recorded applications in last 12 months.

Profile

Outer London / Surrey commuter belt, lower-density mixed residential and commercial stock with strong conservation heritage.

Planning

1 HMO-specific Article 4 direction in our records; verify coverage with council, as data feed may be incomplete.

Deal angle

Single A4 HMO direction suggests targeted regulation; low application volume makes current on-ground activity hard to read.
