- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 Elphin Gardens is modelled from its 18 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SA1 6QG.

- 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 17 Elphin Gardens, 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.

The latest one for 17 Elphin Gardens was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
