Is FY1 or FY3 cheaper?

FY1 is the cheaper of the two. Homes around FY1 sell for about £100,000 and around FY3 for about £144,950, from HM Land Registry records of what actually changed hands.

Which has less crime, FY1 or FY3?

That depends on what you need, and no dataset answers it. What this page gives you is the evidence side by side: what homes actually sell for, the energy ratings, the flood zone, recorded crime and deprivation, each traced to the body that published it.
