do a postcode check its usually reasonable accurate for estimated distance, ofcom suggest an average of 1.4 actual distance per 1km of straight line distance I think as the line gets longer this increases and ofcom maybe too conservative.

If your straight line is over 1km their is a moderate risk the line may be too long but also could still be a good short line, if its under 1km the chances are it will be fine and give at least 12mbit.
