The estimate for Flat 3 is modelled from its 107 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BH8 9DX. 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.

When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
