How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Cofton Church Lane is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B45 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

Area figures

Council tax band
5 Cofton Church Lane 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.
