Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made

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 86 Godstow Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
