How the estimate is made
The estimate for Palm Cottage is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0EN. 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.

Start your researchHow 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 Palm Cottage is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME15 0EN. 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. No sale is recorded for Palm Cottage, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Palm Cottage was lodged in June 2024 at band C and is valid until June 2034. 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 Palm Cottage. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME15 0EN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
