WOZ and address data
The WOZ value is not stated in this listing, so no comparison with the asking price is possible. According to public risk data at address level, the noise from road traffic is 39 dB Lden, from rail traffic 33 dB Lden, and from air traffic 40 dB Lden, all below the relevant standards. The foundation risk is elevated, as the building dates from before 1970, and in this postcode area 100 percent of properties were built before that year. The pluvial flooding risk is elevated, while the current flood risk is low, and heat stress is medium now but expected to rise by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.
