The property market in B14 7AW is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 61% of residents living in properties they own. The area’s accommodation type is primarily houses, which contrasts with the prevalence of flats in denser urban zones.

Given the area’s small size and defined postcode boundaries, the housing stock is relatively limited, making it a niche market for buyers seeking established residential properties.
