How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Cypress Cottages is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 0SZ.

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

Planning records

Area figures
