Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 322 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BL2 5EN. 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.

The Cottage has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
