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 90 Viaduct Cottages is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU1 3TU. 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 90 Viaduct Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for 90 Viaduct Cottages was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 90 Viaduct Cottages. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 90 Viaduct Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
