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 1 Austen Close is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CF3 5QU. 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. No sale is recorded for 1 Austen Close, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Austen Close was lodged in August 2016 at band D and expired in August 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Austen Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
