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 471 Cowbridge Road East. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 471 Cowbridge Road East. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
