Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 33.7% below the 2023 sale of £279,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

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