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. 2 sales are recorded for Opal House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures: Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK9 2EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
