- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 45 Craignair Avenue is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN1 8UG.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 45 Craignair Avenue. 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 45 Craignair Avenue was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

- Council tax band
- 45 Craignair Avenue is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
