WOZ and address data
The WOZ value is not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price can be made here. As for the address, there are some area-level indications to note. The noise load from road traffic is 64 dB Lden, which is above the standard, while railway and aircraft noise are below their standards. The foundation risk indication is elevated, partly because the home was built in 1928 on clay soil, and this postcode area is a KCAF attention zone where 88% of properties were built before 1970. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is indicated as elevated, while flood risk from other sources is low now and in 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.
