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 3 Great Sir Hughes Cottages is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM2 7SZ. 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 3 Great Sir Hughes Cottages, 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 3 Great Sir Hughes Cottages was lodged in January 2023 at band E and is valid until January 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 3 Great Sir Hughes Cottages 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.
