The property market in GL2 5EB is defined by its low home ownership rate of 30%, indicating that the majority of properties are rented rather than owned. This suggests a rental market that may cater to both long-term tenants and short-term occupants, such as students or commuters. The primary accommodation type is houses, which is unusual for an area with such a high population density.
