Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Jex Blake Close is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO16 5HU. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 16 Jex Blake Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Jex Blake Close was lodged in August 2023 at band D and is valid until August 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
