About 1 Cranshaw Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

- 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 Cranshaw Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
