Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Battlefield Road is modelled from its 369 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL1 4DA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Battlefield Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Battlefield Road was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL1 4DA, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 Battlefield Road is in council tax band H. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
