This suggests a predominantly owner-occupied area, though the remaining 46% may include rental properties or other tenure types. The compact size of the postcode — 372 m² — means the housing stock is limited, and the small area’s immediate surroundings likely offer similar characteristics. Buyers should consider the high population density, which may affect property availability and competition.
