House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sold price is £850,000, which sits just below the wider district median of £860,000 and far above the national median of £284,238. Flats have a median of £620,000 from 27 sales, which gives that figure some weight. Terraced homes show a median of £9,340,000 from only 5 sales, and semi-detached homes £3,250,000 from only 3 sales, so both figures should be treated as indicative rather than representative of the ordinary market.

Crime in context

Recorded crime stands at 168 offences in the local area over the past year, down 0.6% on a year ago. The change over three years is more noticeable, with recorded crime up 14.3% overall. The most common category now is other theft, whereas three years ago it was vehicle crime. That points to a slightly lower annual total, but a higher longer-term level and a different main offence type.
