Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cambridge House is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B72 1DP. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Cambridge House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cambridge House was lodged in December 2021 at band B and is valid until December 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Cambridge House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
