About 31 Cheyney Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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. 1 sale is recorded for 31 Cheyney Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Area figures

- 31 Cheyney Road is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
