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 86 Birches Head Road is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST1 6LJ.

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 86 Birches Head Road. 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 86 Birches Head Road was lodged in September 2016 at band D and expired in September 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
