Househunters offered 'asbo danger ratings' through new websiteHousehunters offered 'asbo danger ratings' through new website

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."
