Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Air Balloon is modelled from its 40 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BS5 8LB.

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 The Air Balloon. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Air Balloon. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BS5 8LB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
