Are new homes being built in Lees?

8 of the 368 postcodes now in use in Lees came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 0 of the 211 homes sold in Lees were newly built (0%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the OL4 district, 0%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Is Lees at risk of flooding?

13 of the 368 postcodes in Lees have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 70 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 13 of 368 postcodes High: 32Medium: 38Low: 25Very low: 2

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.

Is Lees safe? Crime recorded around it

Greater Manchester's police force has published no crime figures to Police.uk for any month from September 2024 to August 2026, so we have none to show for Lees. A count from Police.uk here would take in only the few crimes that neighbouring forces record nearby, so we show none rather than a figure that looks like a quiet area.
