High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.

How Life Works Here
Yard Mead is located in Runnymede, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 500 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 Runnymede Cafe (restaurant, 355m). The nearest public transport is 667m away. The median property price is £336,750. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. 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 28 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
