- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Cheavestone Lea is modelled from its 112 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TQ9 7AU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 4 Cheavestone Lea. 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 4 Cheavestone Lea was lodged in June 2021 at band F and is valid until June 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 4 Cheavestone Lea. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
