How the estimate is made

The estimate for 74 The Hill is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8PS. 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.

Overview

About 74 The Hill

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 74).

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £575,000 is 32.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£449/sq ft) was about 15.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 74 The Hill is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in AL4 8PS. 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 74 The Hill. 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 74 The Hill was lodged in July 2026 at band C and is valid until July 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 74 The Hill. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL4 8PS, not by walking route.
Council tax band
74 The Hill is in council tax band E. 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.
