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 5 Carrick Close. 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 5 Carrick Close was lodged in April 2017 at band C and is valid until April 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WS3 5BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Carrick Close is in council tax band C. 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.
