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 1 Bushey Mill Lane is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WD24 7QT.

- 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 1 Bushey Mill Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for 1 Bushey Mill Lane was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
