- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Bedford Court is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 3EZ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 3 Bedford Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Bedford Court. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 3EZ, not by walking route.
