- We don't publish an estimate for 14 Cottage Close because there is no EPC to tell the model the home's size and specification. The full report sets its records against recent comparable sales in WD17 3NN.
- 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 14 Cottage Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
