The estimate for Maritime Buildings is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SR1 1BL. 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.
