This suggests a market focused on long-term stability rather than short-term rental investments. The accommodation type is primarily houses, which is unusual for a small postcode area but may indicate a preference for family homes or detached properties. Given the compact size of the area, the housing stock is likely limited, making it a niche market for buyers seeking specific properties.
