How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Wish House is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2BS. 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.

About The Wish House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil.

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 The Wish House is modelled from its 115 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2BS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Wish House. 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 The Wish House was lodged in April 2011 at band E and expired in April 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 The Wish House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
