Automated valuations cover more property types and return clearer errors

The automated valuation model values more property types by location, and returns a specific 400 or 422 when a property genuinely cannot be valued automatically.

Changed

  • POST /v1/avm/predict-by-location now values a wider range of property types by mapping common variants onto the model's canonical groups. Maisonettes, blocks of flats, retirement flats, park and mobile homes and houseboats are valued as flats; cottages as terraced; chalets and lodges as semi-detached; and farmhouses, barns, mills, coach houses and character properties as detached.
  • The valuation endpoints POST /v1/avm/predict, POST /v1/avm/predict-by-location and POST /v1/avm/analysis return a specific client error when a property cannot be valued automatically. An unsupported or missing property type returns 400 with code invalid_property_data, and a property with too few comparable sales returns 422 with code insufficient_data, so you can tell an unvaluable input apart from a service problem.
