    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
