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.

Recorded transaction (separate)Elwood£1,700,000 · 12 Apr 2018

Elwood, 4 South Downs Drive

The current listing dates the present house to 2020, so the 2018 transfer is not a like-for-like completed-home sale. Obtain title, planning and build chronology before drawing any uplift conclusion.

Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Important missing informationElwood
  • Named architect, structural engineer and official UPRN/title bridge
  • Full 2018-to-2020 demolition/build cost and warranty chronology
  • Three years of pool, HVAC, ground-source, battery and whole-house energy/maintenance records
Missing evidence is not a negative finding.

Pool or spa

Publisher evidenceThe publisher film names Elwood and shows the exact three-storey property, second-floor pool, wellness suite, lift, Bulthaup kitchen and extensive garaging.

Practical questionWhat servicing, water treatment, plant replacement and winterisation does the pool or spa require, and can you provide service records?

Ask before you view

  1. What servicing, water treatment, plant replacement and winterisation does the pool or spa require, and can you provide service records?
  2. What evidence can you provide before a viewing to resolve: Named architect, structural engineer and official UPRN/title bridge?
  3. For Elwood's advertised 5 bedrooms, which share a level with a bathroom and living space, and what steps are on the route from parking?

Occasional occupation: ask who checks this property while empty and what its services and insurance require.
