Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Spring Cottage is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 3XT. 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 Spring Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Spring Cottage was lodged in July 2018 at band D and is valid until July 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

Area figures
