- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 9 Ravenstones Drive is modelled from its 155 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5JU.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 9 Ravenstones Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
