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 23 Briar Hill Close is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 1YL. 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. No sale is recorded for 23 Briar Hill Close, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 23 Briar Hill Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 1YL, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- 23 Briar Hill Close is in council tax band A. 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.
