Things You Should Know

Car-dependent

Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Limited tenant pool

Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.

Price data unreliable

Only 1 transaction recorded. The £2,505,850 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.

Price anomaly

Median price £2,505,850 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.

Environmental mismatch

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.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
