Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.
Family score 25 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
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.

Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision.
