Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- We don't publish an estimate for 1 Lovegrove Gardens because there is no EPC to tell the model the home's size and specification. The full report sets its records against recent comparable sales in RG7 2PH.
- 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 1 Lovegrove Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- There is no Energy Performance Certificate on the public register for 1 Lovegrove Gardens. A valid EPC is needed to sell or let a home in England and Wales, and lasts 10 years.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1 Lovegrove Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 2PH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Lovegrove Gardens is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
