How the estimate is made

The estimate for Mill Cottage is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 0PG. 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 Mill Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
