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 Pear Tree Cottage is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 0HR. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Pear Tree Cottage. 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 Pear Tree Cottage was lodged in September 2017 at band D and is valid until September 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
