Known caveats

Affordability remains an area-level screening signal and does not replace household-specific budgeting.
Area-name search can return nearby authorities with similar names, so use the linked area page before you decide.
Median house price and residence earnings come from official area-level seams and should be treated as shortlist context rather than offer-ready pricing.
