Postcode Check results for PL27 7LW

Most postcode based data is used by marketing people. It influences junk mail, can be a component of your credit score, and can even be used to help supermarkets decide where to site a new store.

When trying to categorise postcodes within only 50 or so standard types, inevitably not all aspects are always correct, but you’ll get a general idea. Don’t forget to read any resident’s feedback on the accuracy of the data. If you would like to search a different postcode, click here.

Financial Risk

By using public databases such as the Register of Court Judgments and insolvency records, and combining it with census data and ‘lifestyle’ information collected from questionnaires, the financial risk of a postcode can be measured.

Based on information held on the Cameo database, the average credit score for this postcode, within a range of 0-1000, and where the average is 750, is:

875

This score can then be converted to an average credit rating for the postcode, within a range of 1-5 stars, and where the average is 3 stars, which gives a result of:

4 star rating4 star rating4 star rating4 star rating4 star rating

This affects your own credit score if either your credit file is ‘thin’ or if the lender you are using is small, new-to-market or not able to see full credit files. You can check your own personal credit score and compare it to your postcode based score for free by clicking here.
