KT5 8DA is primarily an owner-occupied area, with 61% of properties owned by residents. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which suggests a focus on family homes or larger residences compared to flats. This makes the area more suited to those seeking space and privacy rather than investment in rental properties.
