Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Knightwood Close is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SO40 7FE.

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 23 Knightwood Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
