- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Bridgewater Drive is modelled from its 38 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB1 5AJ. 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 8 Bridgewater Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 8 Bridgewater Drive was lodged in December 2011 at band C and expired in December 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB1 5AJ, not by walking route.
