House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sale price is £167,500, which is below the wider district median of £180,000 and well below the national median of £284,238. Of the listed type medians, flats at £82,500 from 18 sales are the most reliable indicator. Semi-detached homes at £150,000 and terraced homes at £118,000 are each based on only one sale, so they are best treated as indicative rather than representative of the wider market.

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the local area stands at 857 incidents a year, using the LSOA-level figure for this postcode. That is 1.5% lower than a year ago, but 4.9% higher than three years ago. Violence and sexual offences remains the most common category, as it was three years ago. The picture is mixed: a modest recent fall, but a higher overall level than three years ago.

Flood band

The area is classed as flood band: none identified. That is the flood band shown for this postcode, and it should be read as a classification rather than a statement about certainty in every situation. No separate flood trend or change figure is provided here, so the current band is the only flood information available.
