Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flax Barn is modelled from its 426 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN29 7HS. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Flax Barn. 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 Flax Barn was lodged in May 2021 at band E and is valid until May 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

The 3 schools and 7 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN29 7HS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
