The estimate for The Merchant House is modelled from its 225 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 6AZ. 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.

The Merchant House has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
