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 2000 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.
Energy rating EExpect 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 B.
Extended: 88 m² → 178 m²Its energy certificates show the floor area grew by 90 m² (certificate 2015). Ask for the planning permission or a lawful development certificate, building-regulations completion certificates, and any party wall agreements.
Sewage spills nearbyStorm overflows within 2 km spilled for about 1,187 hours in 2025 (Environment Agency). Worth knowing if you plan to swim, paddle or walk the dog along the local river or coast.
Development planned nearbyThe council's brownfield register lists 1 site of 50+ homes in this neighbourhood (largest: Squire Lane, Girlington, 82 homes). Look up planning applications for anything near you.
Estimate is far from the last saleA lot has changed since it last sold, or the home has been extended or renovated. Rely on comparable recent sales and the survey.
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.
