How the estimate is made
The estimate for 56 Vicarage Lane is modelled from its 218 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1EE.

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 56 Vicarage Lane. 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 56 Vicarage Lane was lodged in December 2014 at band C and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

Area figures
