Price per square metre. Rolling 12-month median achieved price per square metre of standard market sales (Price Paid category A), using each home's EPC floor area.

HM Land Registry Price Paid + EPC · 2026-08

Areas with fewer than 20 qualifying sales in the 12 months fall back to their MSOA, then council.

Excludes repossessions, buy-to-let and company sales (category B) and 'other' property types.

Sales without an EPC floor area, under £20,000, or outside 15–1,000 m² or £500–£40,000/m² are excluded.

Land Registry registers sales with a lag of up to a few months, so the latest window is still filling.

Outside London, sales are placed in their postcode's area (ONSPD) and linked to EPC floor areas by address; before 2023 they show one value a year. London's figures come from its address-level build.

How this is worked out

Price sample: 89 matched sales support this number at MSOA level; 0 of 89 sales had no usable floor area and are excluded.

Compared with England: Not published: nationwide price coverage is incomplete.

Based on 89 sales · 2026-08 · release src-hmlr-pp-category-a-2026-08-england

Recent sales: standard sales from the last 18 months, nearest first.

Walk to a station: the typical walk from the area's homes to the nearest rail, tube, DLR or tram station is timed along mapped OpenStreetMap paths at 4.8 km/h; each station row is a straight-line estimate stretched by a 1.3 routing detour, so it reads 'about'. Lifts, stairs, crossings and waiting are not timed. © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.

Straight-line distances from the middle of the area.

Places come from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers keep up to date; a new shop or a closed pub may be missing.

Distances are straight lines from the area's centre or the home, not walking routes.

Busy centre: counts include shops and stations.

Crime is counted where it happens, so busy shopping and night-life streets score high.

Road casualties: Department for Transport, Road Safety Data (STATS19), OGL v3.0. Many slight injuries are never reported to the police.

Recorded crime. Police-recorded offences in the 12 months to the selected month, per 1,000 residents (every police force in England). Excludes anti-social behaviour and British Transport Police.

Police.uk open data · 2026-08

Rolling 12 months: each month shows offences recorded in the year to that month.

Published crime coordinates are deliberately anonymised and never identify a building.

British Transport Police records are excluded.

Anti-social behaviour is excluded from the rate (police.uk lists it separately).

Population denominator: ONS mid-2024 LSOA estimates; council/MSOA rates use summed counts and populations.

City of London and West End rates use resident population; daytime footfall is far higher.

police.uk places each crime at an anonymous snap point; an LSOA with fewer than 20 offences in 12 months and under a tenth of the crimes its MSOA rate predicts shows the MSOA rate instead (marked fallback).

Percentiles compare each area with the others of its region.

No figure where the police force did not publish every month of the 12 (latest window: Greater Manchester, Northumbria, Gloucestershire).

Schools

8 within 1.5 km
Sources

State schools within 1.5 km, nearest first, by straight-line distance. Not a catchment: being close does not guarantee a place.

Top 10%: the school is in the top tenth of West Midlands's schools on its latest published results and rated Good or better.

Older Ofsted grades and the new report cards are not comparable; each badge says which it is.

Kids, each ranked against West Midlands's areas: nurseries and pre-schools within 1 km rated well by Ofsted (Good or Outstanding, or a report card with no area below Expected standard; childminders are not included), Ofsted Early Years management information, Open Government Licence v3.0. Road safety: pedestrians and cyclists hurt within 500 m in police-reported collisions over five years, DfT road safety data (STATS19), Open Government Licence v3.0. Cycle lanes: km of protected track and TfL Cycleway within 1 km, TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database (surveyed 2017–19) and Cycleways, Powered by TfL Open Data (London only).

Flood (highest band)
rivers and sea: high · surface water: high
Sources

Flood: shares of the area's land by Environment Agency band, not of its buildings. Highest: the highest band covering at least 1% of the land.

Environment Agency: these bands show the likelihood of flooding for an area, not for a specific property. Check one address.

Bands are modelled chances of flooding in a year, not a record of past floods.

Area figures describe the land in the area, not each building in it.

Read from the Environment Agency's map service at 1 m per pixel, the same grid as the London figures.

Homes are the addresses in the domestic EPC register, read at their OS Open UPRN point; no single home is shown.

Places outside every mapped band count as very low. Groundwater and sewer flooding are not included.

Rivers, lakes and reservoirs (OpenStreetMap) are left out of an area's land.
