Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £167,500 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Broadyates Grove is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 312 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 145 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest public transport is 1,145m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £167,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 34 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
