Range includes ±7% for the estimate itself. Effects are typical ranges, not this home's: a surveyor or local agent who sees it will do better. Work done before 2014 is already in the price. Evidence: of 573,662 homes we saw extended on their energy certificates (median +30 m²), the 123,110 that sold before and after grew a median 10.9% more than their neighbourhood: about a third of the extra space at the home's average price per m².

Questions to raise
Generated from the facts above, as prompts for your solicitor, surveyor or the agent. Not legal advice.
Conservation area: Montpelier and Clifton HillChanges to the outside (windows, doors, roofs, extensions, satellite dishes) and work on trees usually need consent. Ask whether past alterations had permission.
Energy rating FExpect higher bills and, if you plan to let it, work may be needed: rented homes must reach at least E today and the government plans C. The certificate says it could reach E.
Old energy certificateThe latest certificate we matched is from 2012; certificates last 10 years. The seller needs a current one, and it may differ.
Older home (built before 1900)Consider a full building survey (RICS Level 3) rather than a basic one: older homes more often have damp, roof, wiring, drainage or structural movement issues, and past alterations may predate building regulations.
Development planned nearbyThe council's brownfield register lists 3 sites of 50+ homes in this neighbourhood (largest: PO Delivery Office 62 North Road Brighton, 110 homes). Look up planning applications for anything near you.
For every purchaseCommission a survey suited to the home's age and condition, check the title plan matches what you see on the ground (boundaries, access, parking), and ask about disputes with neighbours, rights of way and shared drives.
