How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Queens Cottages is modelled from its 99 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST19 9JX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 3 Queens Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning records

Area figures

Council tax band
