- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Drey House is modelled from its 188 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B79 9DB. 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 Drey House. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B79 9DB, not by walking route.
