- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 4 Abbots Way is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WV3 9LR. 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 4 Abbots Way. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Abbots Way was lodged in October 2020 at band C and is valid until October 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
