Is the asking price fair?

Not a valuation. A check against recorded sales; homes often sell for less than the asking price. We don't keep this figure: it is not saved or sent anywhere, and it clears when you reload.

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 · 2026-06

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

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

Too few matched sales in this neighbourhood; shown for Queen's Gate · W8 from 57 matched sales.

Price sample: 15 matched sales support this number at MSOA level; 0 of 15 sales had no usable floor area and are excluded.

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

Inside Airbnb, insideairbnb.com, CC BY 4.0.

Airbnb moves each listing's point by up to about 150 m, so a listing near a boundary can count in the next area.

A snapshot of listings on one day; a listing is not a night let, and some are rarely booked.

Homes are Census 2021 households, so empty homes are not in the count.

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.

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

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

Rates are per 1,000 residents over 12 months; places with few residents and many visitors read high.

Police.uk open data: the police forces of England and Wales. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

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; borough/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).

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.

A home is read at its OS Open UPRN point, which may sit at the building centre.

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

Air pollution is modelled by the GLA (London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory) for one year on a 20 m grid and averaged over the area's homes; it is not a measurement at any one address.

Summer heat is the GLA's modelled mean midnight air temperature, May to September 2011, on a 250 m grid, averaged over the area's homes: it shows which places stay warmer at night, not a forecast or an indoor temperature.

GP access counts the practices whose surgery postcode is within 1 km of a neighbourhood's centre (for an MSOA or borough, inside it): registered patients per full-time-equivalent GP, trainees and locums excluded.
