Scores

How we score

Safety

Not scored

Crime data is not currently published for Greater Manchester Police: it has supplied no crime, outcome or stop and search data since July 2019, when it changed IT systems, and has no timeline for resuming. Crime figures for this location are unavailable, not zero.

Flood risk

Flood Zone 1

Show the numbers

Inputs to the flood risk score
Flood Map for Planning zone	1
Flood warning areas within 1 km	3
Flood alert areas within 1 km	2
Active warnings and alerts nearby	0

Starts from the Environment Agency flood zone (Zone 1: 95, Zone 2: 60, Zone 3: 25), minus 10 if a flood warning area lies within 1 km (5 if only an alert area), minus 15 per active flood warning and 5 per active alert; a severe warning caps the score at 10.

Flood zones show the chance of river or sea flooding ignoring defences; they do not cover surface water or groundwater.
This is not a flood search. Use a professional search before buying.

Inputs to the energy efficiency score
Energy efficiency rating (SAP)	76
EPC band	C
Based on	median
Certificates used	100

The SAP energy efficiency rating from the EPC (1-100, the number behind bands A-G): the property's own certificate when we can match the address, otherwise the median of the latest certificate for each property in the postcode.

Certificates last ten years and may predate later improvements.

Sales, last 12 months	469
Sales, previous 12 months	733

50 + 2.5 x the percentage change in median sale price between the last 12 months and the 12 months before (so +20% scores 100 and -20% scores 0).

Measures recent price momentum, not value for money or affordability, and is not a forecast.
Medians move with the mix of homes sold as well as with prices.
