Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 8 Bickerton Close is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 1EP. 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 8 Bickerton Close. 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 Bickerton Close was lodged in November 2018 at band B and is valid until November 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

Area figures: Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
