Evaluate: How to check if a property is in a national park

Back to all Evaluate tutorials

It's very straightforward to use PropertyData to check whether an investment property or development site is in a National Park.

Start by running a new Plot Map search by entering the postcode of the property or site (you can also enter co-ordinates or a what3words address):

Once the Plot Map has loaded after a short pause, look for the development warnings in the 'Planning' section in the bar on the left side.

One of them will show whether the property is within a National Park, with a clear green/red colour code.

If you use Google Chrome and install our Browser Extension you can jump straight to Plot Map from a listing page on rightmove.co.uk, zoopla.co.uk or onthemarket.com.

Where does the raw data come from?

Property listings seen on rightmove.co.uk, zoopla.co.uk and onthemarket.com.

How often is the data updated?

The data is updated in near real-time.

What time period does the data cover?

This is a real-time market snapshot - the data covers currently listed properties. Once properties are removed from the portal, they are soon removed from this tab.

How is the raw data processed?

Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded.

What are the statistics used?

Averages shown are the interquartile mean, a type of average that is insensitive to outliers while being its own distinct parameter. The 80% range means that 80% of the listed properties fall inside this range.

How do you know the square footage of properties?

We use proprietary technology to read the square footage of properties from agent floorplans. Although we cannot determine the square footage for all properties, we can usually get sufficient coverage. Agents are sometimes known to inflate square footage, and this should be borne in mind as a weakness of this data.

Where does the raw data come from?

Property "price paid" data provided by the Land Registry, and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data provided by Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.

How do you know the square footage of properties?

We match the Land Registry data to EPC data provided by the MCHLG. Due to the fact that not all properties sold have had an EPC and vagaries of addressing in the UK, we are not able to determine the square footage of all properties, but we can usually get sufficient coverage.
