How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 The Firs is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GL51 9RU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 7 The Firs. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL51 9RU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
