- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15 Osborne Road is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 6LR. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 15 Osborne Road. 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 15 Osborne Road was lodged in February 2023 at band C and is valid until February 2033. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 15 Osborne Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
