- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 21 Upton Grange is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH2 1BL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 21 Upton Grange. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 21 Upton Grange was lodged in August 2012 at band C and expired in August 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
