Things You Should Know

Flood Zone 3

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

Car-dependent

Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Weak family fundamentals

Family score 15 and safety 30. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

Limited tenant pool

Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.

Limited daily services

Daily access score 6/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.

Environmental mismatch

Environment score 15/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
