The surroundings and neighbourhood sections may cover noise, air, heat, greenery, water, liveability, safety and nearby facilities. Not every item is available for every address.

Area data is not a home inspection

A map layer, modelled value or neighbourhood score may not describe an individual room or every time of day. Visit the area at times that matter to you. A favourable label is not a personal health or safety guarantee.

A safety score or derived risk label is not a complete record of actual crimes. Missing crime figures mean unknown, not zero. Check the source and explanation attached to the figure.

Distances and walking times

The neighbourhood view uses straight-line distances. Displayed walking times are estimates based on 5 km per hour. Real journeys can be longer because of roads, waterways, crossings or entrances. Check an important route yourself rather than relying solely on a nearby map point.

If a point or value appears wrong, report the discrepancy, identifying the topic and the information you compared it with. Also read how to interpret missing fields.
