Across 2000–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 is 16.5% below the 2022 sale of £323,250, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Century Mews is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME1 1RB. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Century Mews. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
