Things You Should Know

High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.
Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Flood risk score 20/100. Specialist insurance required. This significantly affects resale value and mortgage options.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £709,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £709,000 based on only 2 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Queens Square is located in Kirklees, near Huddersfield. Crime is a significant concern, with 442 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 229 violent offences were recorded (52% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Peacock (pub, 60m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 103m away. The median property price is £709,000, though prices have fallen 87% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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 river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 27 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
