Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for White House Cottage is modelled from its 96 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 4AZ. 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 White House Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to White House Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
