- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Apartment 5 is modelled from its 30 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL50 1DU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Apartment 5. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Apartment 5 was lodged in September 2020 at band E and is valid until September 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment 5. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
