Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 42 Hengist Court is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME14 1BU. 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 42 Hengist Court. 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 42 Hengist Court was lodged in May 2023 at band B and is valid until May 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

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: 42 Hengist Court 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.
