Flat D earns an INVESTIGATE rating with HP Score 60/100. Investment score 60/100 reflects moderate fundamentals. Crime intensity is elevated. Walkability is limited (56/100). Flood risk is not assessed: check the Environment Agency long-term flood map before offering. Tenure is leasehold. Every figure here comes from the live HomePortfolio API; anything it does not publish is left out.
