How the estimate is made

The estimate for Brooklands is modelled from its 245 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6BT. 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.

Overview

About Brooklands

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since September 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Across 1995–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £988,000 sits 280% above the 1999 sale of £259,995.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Brooklands is modelled from its 245 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6BT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Brooklands. 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 Brooklands was lodged in May 2024 at band C and is valid until May 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Brooklands. 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 2 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CM3 6BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Brooklands is in council tax band G. 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.
