House prices in depth

The postcode sector’s median sold price is £167,500, which sits below the wider district median of £180,000 and the national median of £284,238. Flats have a median of £82,500 from 18 sales, giving the clearest signal in the breakdown. Semi-detached homes show £150,000 and terraced homes £118,000, but each is based on only one sale, so those figures are indicative rather than settled readings of the market.

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the local area stands at 509 incidents over the past year. That is up 0.8% on the year, which is close to flat, and still below the level seen three years ago by 18.8%. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, the same category recorded three years ago. The figures suggest a local pattern that has eased over the longer comparison, with little movement in the latest annual figure.
