Plain-English summary

Recorded crime in the immediate neighbourhood is down 15.4% over the past year, but still totals 5,233 incidents. Over three years, crime is up 7.5%, and theft from the person is the top category now as it was three years ago. The median sale price in this postcode sector is £1,700,000, but it is based on only a handful of sales, so it may not be typical of the wider market. Flood risk is recorded as none identified.

Crime in context

Recorded crime in the immediate neighbourhood stands at 5,233 incidents over the past year. That is 15.4% lower than a year ago, but 7.5% higher than three years ago. Theft from the person is the most common category now, and it was also the most common category three years ago. That gives a mixed picture for the area, with a recent fall but a higher total than three years back.

House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sale price is £1,700,000. It is based on only a handful of sales, so treat it as indicative rather than a settled market level. Within the sector, flats have a median of £2,125,000 from 4 sales, while terraced homes show £2,000,000 from just 1 sale. For context, the wider district median is £860,000 and the national median is £284,238. The type breakdown is also thin, so the figures should be read cautiously.
