For an investor,

The draw is strong growth (+41% / ~5 yrs) and strong yield (4.8% gross); the watch-out is elevated crime risk.

Our verdict
A mixed pick for a balanced focusEvery figure on Epsom's page comes from free, public government data — no scraped listings. Some datasets carry a reporting lag (e.g. Census is 2021, ABS releases settle a quarter behind), so read them as a considered starting point, not live quotes.
