Verdict

Derived from HomePortfolio scores

Westgate House earns an INVESTIGATE rating with HP Score 59/100. Investment score 51/100 reflects moderate fundamentals. Crime intensity is very low. Walkability is limited (10/100). Flood risk is not assessed: check the Environment Agency long-term flood map before offering. Every figure here comes from the live HomePortfolio API; anything it does not publish is left out.
