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)Shards£720,000 · 18 Jan 2019

Shards, Staplefield Road

Exact-name transaction before the current house was completed in 2022. Use only as a land/predecessor anchor after title, build-cost, planning and transferred-extent reconciliation.

Transaction source ↗A historical sale is not an earlier asking price; no price reduction is inferred.
Important missing informationShards
  • Official title/UPRN bridge and exact transferred extent
  • Complete quarry-ground, planning, completion, warranty and access-rights dossier
  • RICS component areas and actual pool, ASHP, drainage and landscape operating history
Missing evidence is not a negative finding.

The reality of ownership

Features can bring both enjoyment and ongoing attention. These observations identify what to investigate, not estimated bills or confirmed defects.

Shards

There is insufficient feature-level evidence to assess ongoing attention for this home. Ask for a schedule of building systems, grounds responsibilities and recent service records.

Ask before you view

  1. What evidence can you provide before a viewing to resolve: Official title/UPRN bridge and exact transferred extent?
  2. For Shards's advertised 5 bedrooms, which share a level with a bathroom and living space, and what steps are on the route from parking?
  3. For occasional occupation of Shards, which systems need supervision and what vacant-period conditions apply to the current insurance?

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