Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Pillmoss Cottage is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WA4 4DW. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Pillmoss Cottage. 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 Pillmoss Cottage was lodged in July 2022 at band F and is valid until July 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Pillmoss 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
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WA4 4DW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Pillmoss Cottage is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
