- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 171 Watling Street Road is modelled from its 150 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR2 8AE.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 171 Watling Street Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 171 Watling Street Road was lodged in September 2016 at band D and expired in September 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
