- 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 18 Lon Hir. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for 18 Lon Hir was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
