Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Ridley Green is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1FH. 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 5 Ridley Green. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 10 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1FH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
