How the estimate is made
The estimate for 45 Fforest Road is modelled from its 340 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SA4 0TW. 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 45 Fforest Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC

The latest one for 45 Fforest Road was lodged in October 2012 at band E and expired in October 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from SA4 0TW.
Council tax band
45 Fforest Road is in council tax band G. 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.
