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 2016 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.
Flat in a blockAsk about the building's fire safety and cladding (an EWS1 form if the block is 11 m or taller), the reserve fund, and any restrictions on subletting, pets or alterations.
Conservation area: MonkseatonChanges to the outside (windows, doors, roofs, extensions, satellite dishes) and work on trees usually need consent. Ask whether past alterations had permission.
Old energy certificateThe latest certificate we matched is from 2016; certificates last 10 years. The seller needs a current one, and it may differ.
Development planned nearbyThe council's brownfield register lists 2 sites of 50+ homes in this neighbourhood (largest: Site at Coquet Avenue (Former site of Marine Park and Cocquet Park First School), Whitley Bay, 94 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.
