Limits of this pack

Area evidence from public releases, each cited with its release id; not advice and not a valuation of any home.
Crime is recorded street-level crime per 1,000 residents over 12 months; published locations are anonymised by the police.
Schools are those within 1.5 km of the area's centre by straight-line distance; distance says nothing about admission.
schools.independent counts independent schools (DfE Get Information about Schools) within the same radius: no Ofsted grade (most are ISI-inspected), outside the state counts and ranks.
Category A (standard market) sales from HM Land Registry Price Paid: counts, medians and shares, never a valuation, an asking price or a listing.
The window ends at the latest recorded sale, not today: Price Paid lags completions by months.
Turnover is the share of recorded homes — homes sold since 1995 with an EPC-linked UPRN — that had a standard sale in the last 12 months; that population is not the full housing stock.
Leasehold share is the share of the last 12 months' sales recorded as leasehold, not the share of homes that are leasehold.
New-build and resale medians use 36 months of sales with an EPC floor area; each needs 10 sales and the premium needs both. The mix of flats and houses can differ between the two.
Growth is the change of the LSOA's rolling £/m² index; MSOAs have no index of their own here.
Shared-ownership first-tranche sales are not separated from standard sales here (Price Paid does not label them): a block of part-share sales can drag a median down (issue #211).
