Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 8 Brood Chase is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO3 9FY.

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 8 Brood Chase. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Brood Chase. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures: Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO3 9FY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
