The property market in GU27 2RR is characterised by a high rate of home ownership—62%—and a focus on houses rather than flats or apartments. This suggests a market skewed toward owner-occupiers, likely families seeking long-term stability. The concentration of houses may reflect the area’s small size and the limited availability of newer developments, making properties here potentially more traditional in style and layout.

Proximity to Haslemere’s retail and transport links could enhance the appeal of homes here, particularly for those prioritising convenience. However, the lack of newer housing stock may mean buyers need to consider nearby areas for more modern properties.
