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 21 Beacon Down Avenue is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PL2 2RU.

- 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 21 Beacon Down Avenue, 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.

The latest one for 21 Beacon Down Avenue was lodged in November 2013 at band F and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
