How Life Works Here

Percy Road is located in Guildford, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 335 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average.

Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 98m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £447,600, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 20 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 107m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
