How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 Lothian Crescent is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF23 9HY. 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 7 Lothian Crescent. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records
