Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for 39a is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK40 3JG. 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.

39a has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
