The longer view
Like-for-like prices in Elmdon Park: +26% over five years (2020 → 2025).
Council tax list: 10 homes added in the neighbourhood since April 2024.
Population (GP registrations): +0.6% in two years.
Spotted when a home's energy certificate shows at least 15 m² (and 15%) more floor area than an earlier one. Only homes with two certificates show up, so the real number is higher. A busy street suggests extensions get permission here; check the council's planning register for the details.
