- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 30a is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 4GU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 30a. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 30a was lodged in November 2018 at band D and is valid until November 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 30a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures

The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN1 4GU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
