How to read this page

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 20 Church Lane is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TA4 4EL. 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 20 Church Lane. 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 20 Church Lane was lodged in January 2022 at band D and is valid until January 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 20 Church Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TA4 4EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
