House prices in depth
The postcode sector median sale price is £239,000, a little above the district median of £235,000 and below the national median of £284,238. It is based on only a few sales, so it should be treated as indicative rather than settled. By type, flats have a median of £130,000 from 11 sales. The semi-detached figure is £268,000 and the terraced figure is £305,000, but each comes from just one sale, so neither is a reliable guide to the wider market on its own.
Crime in context
Recorded crime in the local area stands at 1,461 incidents in the past year, and the total is down 2.1% on a year ago. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, and it was also the top category three years ago. That suggests the main crime profile has not changed, even though the overall count has edged lower over the past year.
