Things You Should Know

Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Median price £5,100,000 based on only 3 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
