The property market in BD18 3PZ is characterised by a low home ownership rate of 16%, indicating that the majority of housing stock is rented rather than owned. Flats dominate the accommodation type, which is typical for smaller towns with limited space for larger homes. This suggests a market skewed towards rental properties, with fewer opportunities for buyers seeking owner-occupied homes. The small residential cluster means the area is not a major hub for property investment, but it offers a niche market for those prioritising affordability or rental yields. Buyers should consider the limited availability of owner-occupied properties and the potential for long-term tenancy agreements. The flat-dominated stock may also influence property sizes and layouts, catering more to single occupants or small families.
