- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 18 St Johns Road is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8AN.

- 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 18 St Johns Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
