Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Lace Cottage is modelled from its 178 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BL8 4HP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Lace Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Lace Cottage. 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BL8 4HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
