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 2020 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.
LeaseholdAsk for the years left on the lease (under about 85 is a warning sign for lenders), the ground rent and how it rises, service charges for the last three years, any planned major works, and who the freeholder and managing agent are.
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 C.
Older home (built 1900-1929)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.
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.
