The property market in BD10 8TJ is characterised by a 48% home ownership rate, with houses making up the majority of accommodation types. This suggests a community where owner-occupation is common, though a significant portion of the housing stock may be rented. The predominance of houses over flats or apartments indicates a traditional, often family-oriented housing stock, potentially with larger properties compared to urban centres. Given the area’s small size and population, the market is likely limited to a few hundred properties, with limited scope for new developments. For buyers, this means competition may be focused on existing homes, particularly those in good condition or with recent renovations.
