An area average can't tell you whether one house is priced fairly, floods, sits on an old mine, or has a short lease. Enter an address to pull its HM Land Registry sale history, a sold-price-based value range (a range from comparable sales — never a single-number valuation), and 15+ checks from official sources — the full breakdown is the £24.99 Complete report.
