How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Elmstead Close is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WS5 3BT.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made

- Where sold prices come from
