The property market in NN1 2AH is characterised by a significant reliance on the rental sector rather than owner-occupation. With only 11% of residents owning their homes, the vast majority of households operate under tenancy agreements.

The predominant accommodation type in NN1 2AH is flats, which aligns with the area's classification as a small residential cluster with high density. You are looking at a housing stock designed for density, where units share common structures or blocks.
