Valuation method in detail

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