How the estimate is made
The estimate for Highfield House is modelled from its 225 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 0HA.

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