What the open data says about house prices, schools, crime and flood risk around EH53 in West Lothian. Built from the same sources as every property report on this site, not opinion or marketing copy.

Two figures on this page aren't reliable for Scotland

House prices below are genuine (the UK House Price Index covers all four nations), but two other sources are England-only infrastructure with no Scottish equivalent wired up yet:

  • Flood risk: from the Environment Agency (England only). The "Zone 1 (low probability)" reading is what we get when no data covers a point at all, not a verified assessment.
  • Crime: from data.police.uk, which for Scotland only includes British Transport Police records, not Police Scotland. The count will read far lower than actual local crime levels.
  • Schools: ratings come from Ofsted, which doesn't operate in Scotland, so "no schools found" reflects that gap, not an actual absence of schools nearby.

Please don't rely on the flood or crime figures on this page for a Scottish area.
