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).
