Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £3,840,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £3,840,000 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
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 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 120 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location.
