The estimate for 2a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 4RA. 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.

The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

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 2a is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NR3 4RA. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in May 2019 at band E and is valid until May 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2a. 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 37 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from NR3 4RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
