How the estimate is made

The estimate for 1 Darwin Close is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 6LH.

Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Darwin Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
