How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Harper Grove is modelled from its 247 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 2AJ.

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 8 Harper Grove. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
