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 2 Gentleshaw Lane is modelled from its 181 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B91 2SS. 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 2 Gentleshaw Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Gentleshaw Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.

- 2 Gentleshaw Lane is in council tax band E. 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.
