Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Dolphin House is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PL4 0BL. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 16 Dolphin House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Dolphin House was lodged in May 2019 at band C 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 16 Dolphin House. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PL4 0BL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
