The property market in GU29 0BL is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 72% of properties owned by residents rather than rented. This high home ownership rate suggests a community of long-term residents rather than a transient rental market. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is typical for small rural clusters where larger plots are available. Given the area’s size and the focus on single-family homes, the housing stock is likely to be older, with fewer apartments or high-density developments. Buyers should consider that the small population and limited land area mean property availability is constrained. Those seeking a family home or a retirement property may find the existing stock suitable, though new builds are unlikely. The proximity to nearby towns like Midhurst could also influence property values, as residents may commute to larger centres for work or amenities.
