Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Top Floor Flat is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in BN11 5LF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Top Floor Flat. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN11 5LF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
