Safety

21/100

607 crimes and anti-social behaviour reports a month within 1 mile (Jun-Aug 2026)

Show the numbers

Inputs to the safety score
Recorded crimes and anti-social behaviour	1,821
Months of data	3
Per month	607
Severity-weighted crimes per km² per month	91.4 per km² per month
Search radius	1.6 km

Recorded street-level crime within the search radius, weighted by offence type (violence and robbery x2, ASB x0.5), per km² per month, placed on a log scale from 1 (scores 100) to 300 (scores 0).

Counts recorded crime by location, not risk to any individual; busy city centres score lower because of footfall.
Locations are anonymised to nearby map points by the police.

Confidence: high. Source: data.police.uk. How we score this

Flood risk

85/100

Flood Zone 1

Show the numbers

Inputs to the flood risk score
Flood Map for Planning zone	1
Flood warning areas within 1 km	5
Flood alert areas within 1 km	3
Active warnings and alerts nearby	0

Starts from the Environment Agency flood zone (Zone 1: 95, Zone 2: 60, Zone 3: 25), minus 10 if a flood warning area lies within 1 km (5 if only an alert area), minus 15 per active flood warning and 5 per active alert; a severe warning caps the score at 10.

Flood zones show the chance of river or sea flooding ignoring defences; they do not cover surface water or groundwater.
This is not a flood search. Use a professional search before buying.

Confidence: high. Source: Environment Agency. How we score this

Energy efficiency

70/100

Median rating of 159 certificates: band C (70)

Show the numbers

Inputs to the energy efficiency score
Energy efficiency rating (SAP)	70
EPC band	C
Based on	median
Certificates used	159

The SAP energy efficiency rating from the EPC (1-100, the number behind bands A-G): the property's own certificate when we can match the address, otherwise the median of the latest certificate for each property in the postcode.

Certificates last ten years and may predate later improvements.

Confidence: medium. Source: EPC register. How we score this

Price trend

9/100

Median sale price down 16.3% year on year in WR1

Show the numbers

Inputs to the price trend score
Change in median price	-16.3%
Median price, last 12 months	£180,000
Median price, previous 12 months	£215,000
Sales, last 12 months	111
Sales, previous 12 months	201

50 + 2.5 x the percentage change in median sale price between the last 12 months and the 12 months before (so +20% scores 100 and -20% scores 0).

Measures recent price momentum, not value for money or affordability, and is not a forecast.
Medians move with the mix of homes sold as well as with prices.

The FSA register lists businesses that handle food, so it is a proxy for local amenities: parks, GP surgeries and gyms are not included.
