How London postcodes are rated

Insurers divide London into rating territories at postcode-district level and grade each into a risk band from their own claims data: vehicle theft, accident frequency, flood claims and repair costs. Two addresses a street apart can sit in different bands. The factors above are the public inputs those bands are built from — checking them for your exact postcode shows you what insurers see about your area.
