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
- The estimate for 144 South Street is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in RM1 1SX. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 144 South Street. 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 144 South Street was lodged in May 2025 at band D and is valid until May 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures

The 39 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RM1 1SX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
