The property market in GU27 3EL is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 69% of properties owned by residents rather than rented. This suggests a stable market where long-term residents are likely to hold onto their homes, reducing turnover and preserving the area’s character. The housing stock is almost entirely composed of houses, which is typical for small, rural or semi-rural postcodes. This contrasts with areas where flats or apartments dominate, and may appeal to buyers seeking private gardens or more space. However, the small size of the area—just 1.2 hectares—means the number of available properties is limited, which could make the market competitive for buyers. For those considering the area, the focus on owner-occupation implies a lack of short-term rental properties, which may be a consideration for those prioritising flexibility. The presence of nearby towns like Haslemere and Liphook also means that residents can access a broader range of housing options if needed.
