WOZ and address data
The WOZ value was not stated in the records, so no comparison with the asking price was available. At the address level, public risk data indicates that road traffic noise is below the norm at 45 dB, railway noise is also below the norm at 41 dB, but aircraft noise at 52 dB exceeds the norm. The foundation risk indication is low, though the soil is peat, which is sensitive to settlement. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, as is the current and 2050 flood risk. Heat stress is low now but medium by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.
