How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Recorder Street is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 3RX. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Recorder 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 2 Recorder Street was lodged in January 2010 at band D and expired in January 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let.

Area figures
