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 79 Pitt Street West is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 1BL. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 79 Pitt Street West. 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 79 Pitt Street West was lodged in February 2023 at band D and is valid until February 2033. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 79 Pitt Street West. 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.
