Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- We don't publish an estimate for The Albany because there is no EPC to tell the model the home's size and specification. The full report sets its records against recent comparable sales in CM3 1BG.
- 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 The Albany. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
