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 71 Marlborough Road is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 5BU. 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 71 Marlborough Road. 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 71 Marlborough Road was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
