The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 125, but without a per-capita breakdown or trend data, it's hard to judge. The area is very central and busy, which can bring both vibrancy and occasional issues. You may want to check local crime maps for more detail.
The plot size is 54 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, terrace, or courtyard. Given that it's a terraced house in a dense urban area, outdoor space is likely limited. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
