Things You Should Know

High Crime Area (LSOA)

Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

Car-dependent

Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Limited tenant pool

Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.

Price data unreliable

Only 1 transaction recorded. The £330,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.

Environmental mismatch

Environment score 2/100 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 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.

Brusselton Lane is located in County Durham. Crime is a significant concern, with 482 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average.

Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 24 out of 100 for liveability.
