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 10 10a is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 2QT. 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 10 10a. 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 10 10a was lodged in October 2017 at band E and is valid until October 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 10 10a. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures

The 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU1 2QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
