How reliable is this? The purchase median is based on 878 recorded sales for postcode district BA3, 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 76 police.uk recorded street crimes within about a mile (2026-09), compared across every English area Boroughly covers; it is not population-adjusted.
