The estimate for 1a is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG1 8EB. 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.
