House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sold price is £409,870. That sits well above the district median of £233,000 and the national median of £284,238. By property type, detached homes have the highest median at £850,000 from 21 sales, while terraced homes sit at £370,000 from 21 sales and flats at £209,000 from 27 sales. Semi-detached homes show a median of £538,738, but that is based on only 6 sales, so it should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market level.

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the immediate neighbourhood stands at 180 incidents and is down 10.4% on the past year. Over three years, the net change is a fall of 1.1%, so the current level is broadly close to where it was then. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, as it was three years ago. That gives a picture of a local area where the overall crime count has eased recently, while the main type of offence has not changed.

Flood risk

The available data shows no identified flood band for this postcode. That means there is no flood band recorded here in the source used for this summary. It does not add any extra detail beyond the absence of an identified band, so the key point is simply that no flood risk has been identified in the published information.
