Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 50 Buckthorn Way is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 9AL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 50 Buckthorn Way. 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 50 Buckthorn Way was lodged in February 2016 at band C and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 2 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 9AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
