Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 12.9% below the 2022 sale of £280,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £280,000.

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 1 Dumbarton Close is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PO2 7EY. 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 1 Dumbarton Close. 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 1 Dumbarton Close was lodged in September 2018 at band D and is valid until September 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Dumbarton Close. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PO2 7EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Dumbarton Close is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
