How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Balk Farm Court is modelled from its 323 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 5XJ.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. No sale is recorded for 2 Balk Farm Court, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
