Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Countess Street is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK2 6HB. 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 5 Countess Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
