The typical home in your area
Type your postcode for a portrait of the typical home in your postcode district — its size, property type, age, annual heating cost and price per square metre — built from millions of EPC certificates and HM Land Registry sales, all open data.
What price per m² tells you
Price per square metre is the cleanest open-data measure of what space is worth where you live — and a useful sense-check on council tax, which is still pinned to 1991 values. If your home is small for its band, that mismatch is worth a look; the free address check compares your specific property to its real neighbours.
