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 Forresters Cottage is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO61 4TE. 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. No sale is recorded for Forresters Cottage, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Forresters Cottage was lodged in June 2024 at band F and is valid until June 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
