Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Choir Close is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 8FQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Choir Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Choir Close. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ME3 8FQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
