The property market in CT1 1PX is characterised by a low home ownership rate of 36%, indicating that the area is more rental-focused than owner-occupied. The predominant accommodation type is houses, which is noteworthy given the postcode’s small size and high population density. This suggests that properties are likely to be smaller, multi-generational homes or conversions within historic buildings.
