- 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 2 Gubbions Hall Cottages. 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 2 Gubbions Hall Cottages was lodged in November 2014 at band F and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
