- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Otley Grove is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B9 5UB. 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 1 Otley Grove. 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 1 Otley Grove was lodged in July 2025 at band G and is valid until July 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 55 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B9 5UB, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 1 Otley Grove is in council tax band B. 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.
