This high rate of home ownership suggests a stable, long-term resident base and limited rental activity. The area is primarily composed of houses, which are typically larger and more spacious than flats, catering to families or those seeking traditional housing. Given the small size of the postcode area, the housing stock is likely concentrated around key local hubs like the Cherry Tree Shopping Centre. Buyers should expect a market where properties are held by residents with established roots, potentially limiting availability for new arrivals.
