- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 134 Hill End Lane is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 0AE.

- 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 134 Hill End Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
