Things You Should Know
High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Flood risk score 20/100. Specialist insurance required. This significantly affects resale value and mortgage options.
Median price £415,000 based on only 3 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.
