Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 Old Fordrove is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B76 1AQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 26 Old Fordrove. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 23 schools and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B76 1AQ, not by walking route.
Council tax band
26 Old Fordrove is in council tax band D. 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.
