Floor areas are not measured by us. They come from the Energy Performance Certificate attached to each sale, and an EPC is an assessor's survey for energy purposes rather than a measurement for valuation.

• A certificate records the property as it was on the day of assessment, so an extension or loft conversion since then will not be in the figure.
• Assessors measure habitable floor area to a standard that usually excludes garages and outbuildings, which is not always the area an agent would quote.
• Certificates are matched to sales by address, and a small number will not match exactly.
• Around nine sales in ten here carry a floor area, so the figure is computed on most of them rather than all.

It is a reliable guide to how one area compares with another, and not a substitute for a measured valuation of a particular home.
