Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Brocks House is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP2 7NW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Brocks House. 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 5 Brocks House was lodged in August 2020 at band B and is valid until August 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
