How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Shawbury Street is modelled from its 147 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK42 0DN.

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 1 Shawbury Street. 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 1 Shawbury Street was lodged in December 2019 at band B and is valid until December 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK42 0DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
