House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sale price is £472,500, which sits above the wider district median of £410,000 and the national median of £284,238. Prices are up 3% over the past year and 10.5% over three years, so the longer-term picture is upward. Detached homes have the highest median at £640,000 from 121 sales, followed by semi-detached homes at £378,000 from 55 sales, terraced homes at £320,000 from 25 sales, and flats at £231,000 from 29 sales.

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the local area totals 65 incidents. Violence and sexual offences remain the most common category, as they were three years ago, while the overall crime count is up 20.4% over three years. That gives a clear upward move in recorded crime, even though the leading category has not changed. The figure is for the local area rather than the postcode itself, so it should be read as a nearby area measure rather than a point reading for one street or building.

Flood risk

The flood band is Very Low. That points to a low level of flood risk in the published classification, and no further flood trend is given here. On the facts provided, there is nothing to suggest a change in flood band or any more detailed flood pattern for this postcode.
