How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Post Office Lane is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE8 9FN. 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 4 Post Office 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 4 Post Office Lane was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Post Office Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE8 9FN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
