How to read this comparison
Headline details are agent or publisher claims unless a source-backed fact is explicitly marked verified. Aveno interpretations and calculations are labelled separately. Unknown means evidence is missing, not that a property fails a check.

Hascombe£4,000,000 · 18 Jul 2018
Hascombe, 33 Tamarisk Way
Exact-address history, not a same-condition comparable. The retained 453 m² area conflicts materially with today's 961 m² marketing total; the as-built scope and completion date must be reconstructed before the nominal uplift is interpreted.
Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Hilltop Farm£550,000 · 19 May 2017
Same address and freehold record, but it predates the reported 2020 build/transformation and is not a condition-matched comparable.
Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
