The estimate for 42b is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 4DQ. 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.

42b has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
