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

- 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 126 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

The latest one for 126 Marlborough Road was lodged in July 2014 at band F and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
