Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 29 Borrowcup Close is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 5XJ. 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 29 Borrowcup 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 29 Borrowcup Close was lodged in May 2023 at band C and is valid until May 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 5XJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
29 Borrowcup Close 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.
