How Life Works Here
Union Road is located in Waverley, near Farnham, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 423 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 171 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 Farnham Vineyard Church (place of worship, 22m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Union Road) is 14m away. The median property price is £782,000, with strong growth of 16% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 215m away. 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
