About 16 Elm Tree Gardens

It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Elm Tree Gardens is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 3NG. 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 16 Elm Tree Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Elm Tree Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 16 Elm Tree Gardens is in council tax band E. 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.
