How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Vicarage Gardens is modelled from its 170 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1EJ. 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 8 Vicarage Gardens. 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 8 Vicarage Gardens was lodged in November 2015 at band B and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

Area figures
