Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 Lordswood Square is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B17 9BS. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 20 Lordswood Square. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 20 Lordswood Square was lodged in February 2014 at band C and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B17 9BS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 20 Lordswood Square is in council tax band B. 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.
