How the estimate is made

The estimate for 197a is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6BN. 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.

Overview

About 197a

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

The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

How to read this page

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 197a is modelled from its 214 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BB2 6BN. 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 197a, 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.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 197a was lodged in October 2015 at band D and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 197a. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BB2 6BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
