How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Blackwater Road is modelled from its 213 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CM3 6FX.

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 3 Blackwater Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
