How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Aurora Drive is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO2 9GT. 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.
