The property market in RG21 7PS is heavily weighted towards rental living rather than ownership. Only 30% of residents own their homes, meaning 70% are tenants. This dynamic creates a tenant-heavy environment which is typical for areas dominated by flats. The accommodation type for this postcode is explicitly listed as Flats, confirming that you are looking at small-scale housing stock rather than detached or semi-detached houses.
