Crime in context

Recorded crime in the immediate neighbourhood totals 2,191 incidents in the past year. That is down 2.9% compared with the previous 12 months, but still 3.4% higher than three years ago. Violence and sexual offences is the most common category now, and it was also the top category three years ago. The figures suggest the current level is a little below the recent peak, but still above the longer-term comparison point.

House prices in depth

The median sold price in this postcode sector is £119,500. That sits well below the district median of £212,000 and the national median of £284,238. By type, flats have a median of £82,000 from 23 sales, while terraced homes have a median of £198,000 from 7 sales. The terraced figure is based on only a handful of transactions, so it should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market level.

Flood risk

The postcode is in the Low flood band. That gives a broad indication of flood exposure for the area, but it does not speak to any one property on its own.
