The housing stock in PO21 2AQ is defined almost entirely by flats, which accounts for the primary accommodation type available in this postcode. With home ownership sitting at just 27%, this confirms that the vast majority of properties are occupied by tenants. You are looking at a market where rental demand outstrips supply, as over 70% of these homes are available for rent rather than purchase. This structure suggests a specific investor appeal where decades of consolidation have taken place to create a block of rental units. If you are buying, you may find limited opportunities for owner-occupation within this specific cluster, pushing you to look at similar accommodation across wider Bognor Regis boundaries. The dominance of flats means you trade outdoor space for central positioning and lower entry costs compared to detached houses. This market configuration is typical for postcodes developed as urban extensions where land value prioritises vertical density.
