About 2 Cobden Court

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Cobden Court is modelled from its 55 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL1 4JL. 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 2 Cobden Court. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
