- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Thurston Cottage is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP29 4LQ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Thurston 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 Thurston Cottage was lodged in August 2022 at band F and is valid until August 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Council tax band
- Thurston Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
