How the estimate is made

The estimate for Flat 5 is modelled from its 17 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 1BA. 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.

Overview

About Flat 5

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Flat 5 is modelled from its 17 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR1 1BA. 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. No sale is recorded for Flat 5, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Flat 5 was lodged in July 2011 at band D and expired in July 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Flat 5. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR1 1BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
