How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Bays Crescent is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1DF.

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 1 Bays Crescent. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
