How the estimate is made
The estimate for Samuel Fold Cottage is modelled from its 327 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN2 1LT.

Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Samuel Fold Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Samuel Fold Cottage was lodged in September 2018 at band D and is valid until September 2028. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
