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 16 Whittlesford Road is modelled from its 307 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 5EW. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 Whittlesford Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 16 Whittlesford 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
