Past sale prices

Recorded sales in GU18, Sep 2024–Aug 2026 (24 months). HMLR district figures are used for owner-confirmed districts. Shared districts and unresolved district ownership use the containing ONS neighbourhood until reviewed; combined neighbourhood names remain unchanged. Districts/neighbourhoods are wider than the exact place. Multiple neighbourhood medians are never averaged. At least 10 sales per type are required; too few is not zero. Past sales are not current asking prices, valuations or financial advice; registrations lag. Individual recorded-sale exploration is a separate residential postcode sample, not a competing place median.

Travel

Rail times checked 19 October 2026, National Rail weekday arrival by 09:00. Fastest trains run at particular times. Getting to the station and onward travel are not included. Personal journeys show only matching current viewer-scoped Discover evidence; missing or expired routes stay not yet checked. Yearly fares require explicit frequency and verified fare basis, using 46 working weeks; no season fare estimates are added.

Station-wide history for every train calling at this station in one railway period — not the reliability of your journey or commute, and not live disruption. Time to 3 is the share of recorded stops that arrived within three minutes of schedule. Cancellations are the share of scheduled stops that didn't call. They use different bases, so they don't add up to 100%. ORR marks figures as low quality when fewer than 56 stops were scheduled, and Time to 3 when fewer than half of expected stops were recorded.

Official school evidence: not yet checked. Measured within 2 miles of the area's station or reference point, straight line, not walking.

Everyday life & healthcare

Nearby does not establish public park classification, access, services, vacancies or GP registration eligibility. Provider photos/listings remain transient with original attribution. NHS Organisation Data Service (ODS) — NHS trust sites (ETS): hospital sites classified by recorded Hospital/Infirmary names, not proof of acute/general services or an emergency department. Emergency services appear only when individually verified; CQC ratings, current opening hours and ambulance destinations are not established.

Safety & environment

All checks use the public catalogue reference point. They are evidence only, never scored, and cannot describe an entire town, village or individual home. Missing evidence is not safe, quiet, flood-free or zero.

Incidents recorded within about one mile of the place reference point. Police.uk moves each point to an approximate nearby location to protect privacy, so this is a neighbourhood count, not what happened at this address. It is not a safety rating and is not scored.
