Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.

- The estimate for 16 Blackthorn Drive is modelled from its 116 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 2FU.

- 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 16 Blackthorn Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
