Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 20 and safety 25. 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.
How Life Works Here
Weldon Road is located in North Northamptonshire, near Corby. Crime is a significant concern, with 759 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 237 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 342m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £150,000, with moderate growth of 9% over five years. Based on 29 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 2 schools within 2 km. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
