Britain's first ever "asbo packs" are now available for prospective homebuyers who can get a danger rating for the property they are looking at.
Information on anti-social behaviour hotspots in Britain is being compiled and put on the website Asbodata which states it is "Britain's only supplier" of reports detailing incidents of anti-social
behaviour at street level.
Househunters can buy urban or rural reports revealing the frequency and categories of anti-social behaviour occurring on a particular street or in a village over a six month period.
The project was put together by solicitors based in Plymouth, Devon and director Ken Papenfus said there are hardly any areas where anti-social behaviour is not reported.
He said: "We are not interested in crimes.
"We take the view that crime is transient and not necessarily linked to residents.
"But we are looking at areas we know are bad."
