How the estimate is made
The estimate for Chequer Tree Barn is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7HL. 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 every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Chequer Tree Barn is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7HL. 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. No sale is recorded for Chequer Tree Barn, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Chequer Tree Barn was lodged in September 2021 at band C and is valid until September 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to Chequer Tree Barn. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 7HL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
