Things You Should Know

Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Median price £390,000 based on only 5 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
