How the estimate is made
The estimate for Tur School Cottage is modelled from its 73 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NG23 5RP.

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 Tur School Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
