Data sources

Everything on MyStreetCheck comes from free, official open data. We combine it street by street; we don't change the underlying figures.

House prices

Sale prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering residential sales in England and Wales. Some sales are recorded as "additional price paid" entries (for example repossessions, buy-to-let purchases by companies and transfers under a power of sale). We list these on street pages but leave them out of the averages so the figures reflect typical sales. New sales are added monthly. "Sale history" shows homes that sold more than once; obvious duplicate registrations are removed.

Crime

Street-level crime figures come from data.police.uk, published by the Home Office and police forces under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Crime locations are moved to the nearest anonymous map point to protect privacy, so they show the surrounding area rather than an exact address.

Flood risk

Flood warning and alert areas come from the Environment Agency real-time flood-monitoring API, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This uses Environment Agency flood and river level data from the real-time data API (Beta). For a full long-term flood risk assessment, use the GOV.UK long-term flood risk service.

Schools and Ofsted

School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools register (England). Ofsted grades come from Ofsted's monthly management information on state-funded schools. Both are licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Transport and GPs

Train, tram, metro and bus stops come from the Department for Transport's National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN) dataset under the Open Government Licence v3.0. GP surgeries come from NHS England Organisation Data Service practice data under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Area profile

Household tenure and age figures come from Census 2021 (Office for National Statistics) at Lower Layer Super Output Area level. Deprivation deciles come from the English Indices of Deprivation 2025 (Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government).

Broadband

Broadband availability comes from Ofcom Connected Nations postcode-level data. Contains Ofcom data © Ofcom 2026, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Maps and postcode locations

Street maps © OpenStreetMap contributors. Postcode locations come from postcodes.io, which uses Office for National Statistics and Ordnance Survey data.
