Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Blethin Close is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CF5 2RR. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 16 Blethin Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Blethin Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
