The property market in BS23 2XH is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 84% of residents living in properties they own. This high rate of home ownership suggests a stable, long-term market with limited rental activity. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is unusual for a high-density postcode, indicating a mix of semi-detached or terraced housing.
