House prices in depth

The current median sale price in this postcode is £185,000, but it rests on only a handful of sales, so treat it as indicative rather than a settled market level. In the M4 1 sector, flats have a median of £216,250 from 90 sales, while the terraced figure is £260,000 from just 1 sale, so it is too thin to read as typical. That sector median sits below the wider district median of £240,000 and the national median of £284,238.

Recent price movement

Prices are down 11.4% over the past year and 8.8% lower than three years ago. These change figures are measured at sector level, so they describe the wider postcode sector rather than the current postcode median itself. Taken together, they show a market sitting below its earlier level on both comparisons, while the current postcode figure remains £185,000, based on only a few sales.

Crime and flood risk

Recorded crime is 117 in the wider local area. That gives a picture of the surrounding area rather than the postcode itself, so it is best read as a broad local figure. Flood risk is currently shown as none identified, which indicates no flood band has been set for this postcode in the available data.
