Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 8 Kennington Close is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA2 7EF. 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.

Council tax band: 8 Kennington Close is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
