The property market in B73 5NW is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 85% of properties owned by their residents. This high rate of home ownership suggests a stable, long-term community with limited rental activity. The accommodation type is primarily houses, which is typical of suburban and semi-rural areas where larger properties are more common. Given the small size of the postcode area, the housing stock is likely limited, making it a niche market for buyers seeking a specific type of property. The prevalence of houses rather than flats or apartments may appeal to families or those prioritising space and privacy. However, the compact nature of the area means that property availability is constrained, and buyers may need to consider nearby postcodes for more options. The combination of high home ownership and traditional housing styles positions B73 5NW as a market where properties retain their value, but competition for available homes could be fierce.
