Tree WorksMay 2022The two trees are located to the rear of the garden of number 65 Elvin Crescent. They are a sycamore (1) and a norway maple (2). We have lived at our current address for 25 years and in this time these 2 trees have grown substantially and we would like to prune all overhanging branches coming on to our land. We were very concerned during the recent storm as the winds rocked these trees and if they came down they would now fall on to our property. We have spoken to the owner and he is happy for us to proceed.Decision

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 8 Wanderdown Drive is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BN2 7BZ. 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 8 Wanderdown Drive. 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 8 Wanderdown Drive was lodged in September 2025 at band C and is valid until September 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 8 Wanderdown Drive. 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BN2 7BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 8 Wanderdown Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
