New fields

Clearer predicted fields

We've improved how we expose predicted values by splitting them into three distinct categories:

• [field]_declared_only: Values officially declared in public records.
• [field]_predicted_only: Values derived purely from our prediction models. Will be null when there is a declared value available.
• [field]_declared_and_predicted: Combined values from both predicted and declared.

While the legacy fields are now deprecated, they will remain available for backwards compatibility.

For example, the bedrooms count fields are now structured as:

• New field: bedrooms_declared_only - Legacy field: bedrooms

• New field: bedrooms_declared_and_predicted - Legacy field: bedrooms_predicted

• New field: bedrooms_predicted_only -  Legacy field: N/A 

Feature

Enhanced LLM phase of address matching, improving address match rates.

Feature

Now property.value.sale.property_value does not consume credits if requested via UPRN, as part of our Free AVM service.

Breaking changes

surroundings.facilities.shops.nearest_petrol_station now has street address instead of lat/long, to be consistent with other similar fields like nearest_post_office.
