The property market in CW2 7HS is defined by a 36% home ownership rate, which implies that a significant portion of the housing stock is rented out. This suggests a rental market that may cater to both long-term tenants and those seeking temporary accommodation. The predominant accommodation type is houses, which are typically larger and more suited to families or individuals requiring more space. Given the small population and the presence of industrial estates like Crewe Hall Enterprise Park, the area may attract buyers looking for properties in a semi-rural setting with access to urban infrastructure. However, the limited number of homes and the focus on houses mean the market is unlikely to be highly competitive. Buyers should consider the balance between property size and location, as the area’s proximity to Crewe and its transport links may be key selling points for those prioritising connectivity over dense urban living.
