The property market in M21 7HR is characterised by a 47% home ownership rate, indicating that nearly half of properties are rented. This suggests a balance between owner-occupied and rental housing, though the small area size of 1.5 hectares limits the availability of properties. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which may reflect a preference for single-family homes over flats. This could appeal to buyers seeking larger living spaces, but the limited stock means competition may be fierce.
