Dots: each sale. Dashed line: what it would have been worth had it moved exactly with Kempston West & South's like-for-like price index from its first sale. Ring: today's estimate. Grey dots: non-standard sales.

Sale records can't see extensions, conversions or condition. Tell us what's changed since 2025 and we'll adjust the estimate, with a range that shows how sure we can be.
Range includes ±11% 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 2025 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.
Not every extension shows here. We only see building work when a new energy certificate is lodged, which happens when a home is sold, let or newly built (this home's latest is from 2016). A loft or extension added since then won't appear, even with planning permission and building control sign-off, because those records aren't published as open data outside London. Missing work doesn't mean missing paperwork.
