Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Median price £399,500 based on only 4 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
