- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 10 Bowes Court is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 2HL. 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 10 Bowes Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 10 Bowes Court was lodged in October 2012 at band C and expired in October 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

- Council tax band
- 10 Bowes Court 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.
