The property market in MK2 2YQ is defined by a 48% home ownership rate, with flats making up the majority of accommodation types. This suggests a rental-oriented market, where owner-occupiers coexist with tenants. The dominance of flats indicates a focus on high-density living, which may appeal to those prioritising affordability and proximity to amenities.
