The council tax on a Band D home in this council area

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Band D is the benchmark councils are compared on, not the typical home: across most of England more dwellings sit in bands A to C than in D or above. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils. Bands themselves reflect 1991 values in England and Scotland and 2003 values in Wales.

Exact town aggregate based on 311 Category A HM Land Registry transactions across every postcode assigned to the official settlement. It is not a valuation; the time window is stated in the field label.

Counts sales lodged with HM Land Registry for registration in the last five years, excluding repossessions and other Category B transfers. It is not every change of ownership: gifts, right-to-buy sales at a discount, transfers under court order and leases of seven years or less never appear. Registration lags completion by two weeks to two months, so the most recent months are always incomplete and this figure rises later.

Across standard residential sales in this postcode

Source period

July 2026

Exact town aggregate based on 311 Category A HM Land Registry transactions across every postcode assigned to the official settlement. It is not a valuation; the time window is stated in the field label.

A median of the standard residential sales registered in this postcode over five years, and nothing else. It is not a valuation, and it is not adjusted for the size, condition or type of the homes that happened to sell. Repossessions and other Category B transfers are excluded. Results based on fewer than ten sales are shown with a low-sample warning because one unusual property can move the median by tens of thousands.

The band the most homes here sit in

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

The single largest band among the homes in this neighbourhood, which says nothing about any particular home and can sit one band either side of the next largest. Scotland publishes its band mix by council rather than by neighbourhood, so this card is blank for a Scottish postcode rather than quietly widening to the council. This describes the mix of council tax bands across the whole neighbourhood, not this address: there is no public data feed of individual bands anywhere in Great Britain, and we do not hold one. To find the band of a particular property use the official checker at gov.uk/council-tax-bands, or the Scottish Assessors at saa.gov.uk. A band is fixed against what the property was worth on 1 April 1991 in England and Scotland, or 1 April 2003 in Wales, and has never been revalued in England or Scotland — it is not a current valuation and a low band is not a cheap house. Counts are rounded to the nearest 10 by the publisher and bands with fewer than five dwellings are withheld.

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Bands A to C are the three lowest, which in England and Scotland means a 1991 value up to £68,000 and in Wales a 2003 value up to £91,000. Bands holding fewer than five homes are withheld by the publisher and are missing from both the top and the bottom of this share. Scotland publishes its band mix by council rather than by neighbourhood, so this card is blank for a Scottish postcode. This describes the mix of council tax bands across the whole neighbourhood, not this address: there is no public data feed of individual bands anywhere in Great Britain, and we do not hold one. To find the band of a particular property use the official checker at gov.uk/council-tax-bands, or the Scottish Assessors at saa.gov.uk.

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Band A is the lowest band a dwelling can be in. Wales also publishes an "A-" figure for the disabled band reduction, which is a reduction a household qualifies for rather than a band, and is excluded here so the three nations stay comparable. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils.

The completion date on the transfer deed for the sale shown above, not the date it was registered. Registration follows completion by two weeks to two months, and longer for new builds, so a very recent sale may not be here yet.

The annual charge on a top-band home in this council area

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

The top band is H in England and Scotland and I in Wales, so the Welsh figure covers a band the other two nations do not have. Scotland's band ratios were changed in 2017 to raise the top four bands relative to Band D, so a Scottish top-band charge is a larger multiple of its Band D than an English one. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils.

A SAP model output for a standard household, not a meter reading. The same house scores the same whether two people live there or six, and it is per square metre — a large efficient house can use far more energy in total than a small inefficient one.

Exact aggregate of 1303 latest domestic EPC certificates across every postcode assigned to the official settlement. EPCs are lodged on sale, letting or construction and are not a census of all homes.

A SAP model output for a standard household. It uses the carbon intensity assumed when each certificate was lodged, and the grid has decarbonised substantially over the period covered, so older certificates overstate the emissions of electric heating.

Representative-location reading for the source area containing SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total or average and may differ elsewhere in the town.

Counts primary fires, secondary fires and chimney fires. False alarms and non-fire incidents such as road collisions and flooding are counted separately and are not included here. A count of incidents the fire service attended in this neighbourhood (LSOA, roughly 1,500 residents) in one year. It is not a risk score and not a forecast: a handful of incidents in a small area moves sharply from year to year for no reason a reader could act on, and a busy road or a single derelict building can account for most of it. Incidents whose neighbourhood the service did not record are excluded, so this is slightly below the true total. England only.

Calculated from the official settlement polygon. If stations lie inside the town, the one nearest the polygon's representative centre is named.

The closest station, not the station that would attend. Fire and rescue services mobilise whichever appliances are available and appropriate, which is routinely not the nearest station, and stations are opened and closed between annual releases.

Census 2021

Counts households containing at least one dependent child, across couple, lone-parent and other household types. A dependent child is under 16, or 16 to 18 and in full-time education. Census day was 21 March 2021, during coronavirus restrictions: students were largely counted at a parental address rather than a term-time one, and workplace populations were displaced. The census is taken once a decade, so this is now several years old. It describes the LSOA around this postcode — a neighbourhood of roughly 1,500 people — and not this address. Small counts are deliberately adjusted to protect confidentiality, so categories need not sum exactly to their totals and a difference of a person or two is noise. England and Wales only: Scotland ran its own census in 2022, published separately by National Records of Scotland.

Correct as at the date shown beside it, and not necessarily today. Members change between general elections through by-elections, defections and resignations, and a seat can be vacant for months while a by-election is arranged — in which case this reads "Seat currently vacant" rather than naming whoever held it last. A constituency covers roughly 70,000 electors, so this is a fact about a large area and not about your street.

8 of 10, where 1 is most deprived

Where this neighbourhood sits among all English LSOAs

Source period

2025

Representative-location estimate at SY3 0NQ, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Decile 1 is the most deprived tenth of the 33,755 small areas in England and decile 10 the least; rank 1 of 33,755 is the most deprived. This describes the whole LSOA — roughly 1,500 residents — and not this postcode or any household in it, so a comfortable street inside a deprived area still counts as deprived here. The English index cannot be compared with the Scottish (SIMD) or Welsh (WIMD) indices: different domains, different weights, different years and a different number of areas to rank against. It is also relative, not absolute — it says how this area compares with other English areas in 2025, and it is not comparable with IMD 2019.

Equivalised means adjusted for household size and composition on the modified-OECD scale, so a couple and a family of five can be compared. Do not read it as the cash a household receives. A modelled estimate for the financial year ending March 2023, not a measurement: ONS combine the Family Resources Survey with census and administrative data, and the method tends to pull estimates towards the average. Every figure carries a wide confidence interval — the true value could plausibly sit anywhere in it, so a difference between neighbouring areas may not be real. It is a mean, and income is skewed, so it sits above the typical household. The area is an MSOA of 2,000 to 6,000 households, several neighbourhoods rather than one street.
