How reliable is this? The purchase median is based on 495 recorded sales for postcode district BN6, from an HM Land Registry dataset generated 2026-11-10. This covers a postcode district, not an individual home. The safety score is a relative rank of 39 police.uk recorded street crimes within about a mile (2026-09), compared across every English area Boroughly covers; it is not population-adjusted. Rents, amenities, travel estimates and the other six lifestyle scores are indicative rather than independently measured for this area. Check the data and methodology.
