How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Forest Cottages is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4AR.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 5 sales are recorded for 2 Forest Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Area figures
