This suggests a mix of owner-occupied properties and rental stock, though the exact proportion of the latter is not specified. Given the area’s small size and high population density, the housing stock is limited, with little scope for new development. The compact nature of the area means buyers must consider proximity to amenities and transport links when evaluating properties. The presence of older housing, some dating back to the early 20th century, indicates a need for maintenance or renovation in certain cases. For buyers, the market’s constraints mean competition for available homes, particularly for those seeking larger properties.
