How the estimate is made

The estimate for Quill House is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8JG. 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.
