Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Parsonage Cottages is modelled from its 92 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CO4 5ST. 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 4 Parsonage Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Parsonage Cottages. 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 1 school and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CO4 5ST, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Parsonage Cottages is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
