Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) 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 20 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.
Median price £555,000 based on only 11 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 5/100 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
Hardwick Lane is located in Runnymede, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 711 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 495 violent offences were recorded (70% 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 Great Cockrow Railway Station Buffet (cafe, 70m). The nearest transport stop is 11m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £555,000, though prices have fallen 14% over five years. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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 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 23 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
