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 The Cottage is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B76 0DW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for The Cottage. 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 The Cottage was lodged in August 2011 at band D and expired in August 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 The Cottage. 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 2 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B76 0DW, not by walking route.
