Crime in context

Recorded crime in the local area stands at 6,673 incidents in the past year. That is 4.6% lower than a year ago and 0.6% lower than three years ago. Other theft is the most common category at the latest point. The figures show the current level and the recent direction of travel, but they do not say anything about what happened between those two comparison points.

House prices in depth

The median sale price in this postcode sector is £585,000. That is below the wider district median of £830,000, but above the national median of £284,238. Flats have a median of £577,500 from 92 sales. Terraced homes have a median of £1,850,000 from only 3 sales, so that figure may not be typical of the wider market and should be treated as indicative. The sector median is down 21.8% over the past year and 18.4% over three years.
