Common questions

Is IP16 or IP17 cheaper?

IP16 is the cheaper of the two. Homes around IP16 sell for about £220,000 and around IP17 for about £435,000, from HM Land Registry records of what actually changed hands.

Which has less crime, IP16 or IP17?

IP17 recorded fewer crimes in the same period (54 in IP16 against 6 in IP17, Police.uk). Busier places record more, so read this alongside how built-up each area is rather than on its own.

Is IP16 or IP17 the more affluent area?

On the Index of Multiple Deprivation, IP16 sits in decile 4 of 10 and IP17 in decile 4, where 10 is the least deprived.

Should I buy in IP16 or IP17?

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.
