£ per square metre is the fairest way to compare two homes of different sizes — but nobody publishes it, because it needs two datasets joined. This tool does the join: it takes real HM Land Registry sold prices and divides each by that home's EPC floor area, giving you £/sqm for comparable local sales. Divide any asking price by the property's floor area and compare. It is always a sold-price based figure, never a valuation, and floor area is the EPC assessor's measurement — so it can't see condition, plot or an extension added since. Free, no signup. England & Wales (both sources' coverage). The £24.99 Complete report compiles the comparable-sales workup for your exact address plus 15+ checks that decide whether the price is the only question.

Frequently asked questions
Divide the price by the internal floor area in square metres. The hard part is the floor area — this tool pulls it from the home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and pairs it with the actual sold price from HM Land Registry, so you get real £/sqm for comparable local sales rather than an estimate. To sense-check an asking price, divide it by that property's EPC floor area and compare it to the local figures shown.
It is the best single comparator for homes of different sizes, which is why surveyors and developers use it — but it is a starting point, not a valuation. Two homes at the same £/sqm can be very different buys: condition, plot, floor, aspect, and risks like flood or subsidence all move real value. Use £/sqm to spot a price that's out of line, then look at why.
From the property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), published by MHCLG under the Open Government Licence. It's the assessor's measured total floor area at the time of the certificate. A home extended after its EPC was lodged will show a smaller area than it has today, which inflates its £/sqm — we flag that so you read the figure with the right caveat.
£/sqm needs both a sold price and a floor area for the same address. Where the EPC register has no matching certificate for the recent sales — or where the EPC lookup is unavailable — we won't invent a floor area, so we show the sold prices without a £/sqm and point you to gov.uk to look up the certificate yourself. We'd rather show less than publish a number we can't stand behind.
No. Both sources here — HM Land Registry Price Paid and the England & Wales EPC register — stop at the border. Scotland keeps separate registers (Registers of Scotland for prices, the Scottish EPC register for certificates), so we can't build an honest £/sqm for Scottish or Northern Irish postcodes.
