Report summary
We have not put a single headline score on this address. Only 1 of the 6 headline checks could be run here (18% of the score's weight), and a number built on that little would imply we had checked things we could not. What we could and could not check is set out below, and everything we did find is explained in plain English on the pages that follow.
Top things to check
- !1 flood-warning area sit within about 2 km of this postcode — catchment context to check at the property, not a building-risk finding.

The verdict
Your headline score and the things that matter most about this home.
1.HouseCheckup IQ Score
No dataIn plain terms: We are not putting a single score on this address. Only 1 of the 6 headline checks could be run here — 18% of the score's weight, below the 60% we require before naming a number. The checks that did run are shown below, each on its own terms; the ones that could not are listed with the reason. A single figure at this point would read as a verdict on the whole property when most of it has not been checked.

Safety & environment
Will it flood, will the ground stay stable, and is the air and land around it clean?
3.Flood risk
No dataIn plain terms: Mapped flood risk could not be established. The available warning-area counts and nearby alerts describe the surrounding catchment; they cannot show the flood probability or past flooding of this building. 1 EA flood-warning area sit within about 2 km — that is the surrounding catchment, not a reading at this address.

What this flood check covers. We do not assess groundwater flooding (a rising water table), reservoir flooding or sewer flooding — those come from datasets we do not hold. Groundwater is reported by a commercial flood search, the kind a conveyancer commissions from Groundsure or Landmark; sewer flooding by your water company's drainage and water search (CON29DW); reservoir flooding free from the Environment Agency at check-long-term-flood-risk.service.gov.uk. Mapped levels above describe the postcode location for the mechanisms named; they do not establish this building's flood probability or history.
What to do:Ask the seller (on the TA6 form) whether the property has ever flooded, and get a flood-specific insurance quote before you commit.
Part 3
Value & market
What homes here sell for, how prices are moving, and what it costs to run.
4.Price history
FairIn plain terms: The available postcode sale records have a median of about £295,000. The table shows a postcode sample; these are transactions for different homes, not a valuation or a same-property price trend.

The home & energy
The bricks and bills: what the property is made of, how efficient it is, and what you can and can't change.
5.Property facts
FairIn plain terms: Available location and property-record fields. A location field does not establish the condition of the building.

Area & lifestyle
What it's actually like to live here — the neighbourhood, getting around, and what's on your doorstep.
6.Crime
FairIn plain terms: The returned records contain 42 incidents across 1 of 24 months within about a mile of the postcode location. Missing months are excluded, so this is an incomplete observation window. These counts are not adjusted for population or visitors and do not establish how safe this building is.

These are raw counts of incidents reported to police within about a mile — a busy high street naturally shows more than a quiet lane, so read it alongside the area type rather than as a danger score.
