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 5 The Fordrough is modelled from its 351 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B74 2XS. 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 5 The Fordrough. 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 5 The Fordrough was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B74 2XS, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 5 The Fordrough is in council tax band G. 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.
