How it works

A rent from the lettings around the home

  1. 1Up to 100 recent lettings nearbyHomes with the same bedrooms and type, advertised to let in the six months before the appraisal date, from the Home.co.uk listing archive. The search widens from the home until it has 100.
  2. 2Closer ones weigh moreEach rent counts by how near it is, so a letting round the corner moves the estimate far more than one across town. For this home the nearest 6 carry 48% of it.
  3. 3A range tested against past resultsWe appraised homes whose real asking rent we already knew, without showing it, and set the range so about four in five real rents land inside it. Confidence says how closely the nearby rents agree.
