How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Albert Close is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 1UQ.

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 31 Albert Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 31 Albert Close was lodged in July 2017 at band B and is valid until July 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
