Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 4 Headteacher Terrace is modelled from its 276 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 3UL. 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.
