How to read this page

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Little Rye Fields is modelled from its 87 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 1FR. 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 1 Little Rye Fields. 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 1 Little Rye Fields was lodged in August 2020 at band B and is valid until August 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Little Rye Fields. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
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 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 1FR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
