Upgrade Plan
Get upgrade quotesThis certificate lists these measures but records the same score with and without them, so there is no saving or rating gain to attribute to any one of them. That usually means the assessment was incomplete — here the assessor recorded no heating system at all. The costs below are real; a fresh assessment would be the way to find the gain.

Schools from the DfE register, performance from the KS4 performance tables. Progress 8 is a GCSE measure, so primaries have none. Distance is straight-line from the postcode, not a catchment: admission is decided by the school, not by us.
Area context
Police-recorded crime for the wider neighbourhood, not this address. We grade homes, never neighbourhoods — so this is reported as a count, not a rating.
