Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 22 Catchpool Road is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO1 1XN. 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 22 Catchpool Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO1 1XN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
