Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Old Chapel is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in IP30 9TD. 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 The Old Chapel. 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 The Old Chapel was lodged in June 2019 at band E and is valid until June 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
