Advantages: Good, easy to use site

Disadvantages: None I can think of.

A real life guide to your neighbourhood.

An easy to use and fascinating website with much to offer.

Looking for new car? new home? Track down what's for sale near you in the Classified section.

Find out what's the average price of a semi-detached in your area? You can find out the house prices of detached, semi-detached, terraced and flats in your area. You can compare them to the national average or another postcode. You can draw a graph which shows how prices have moved up or down.

Compare crime rates and policing levels in your area with the national average in the Policing and Crime Section.

How is your local primary/secondary school performing - the site gives the best performing school in the area and you can look up all schools in Kent and compare.

The best part of the site for me is th ACORN Profile - a classification system which has created 54 neighbourhood profiles indicating lifestyle trends and typical housing in your area. For exampel if yo are lucky to live in Type I as 2.6% of the population do, you will be living in a wealthy suburb, probably in a large detached house, probably have 2 cars, own stocks and shares and earn over £20,000.

See what it says about where you live!
