The property market in BD19 5YX is characterised by high home ownership (81%) and a focus on houses rather than flats or apartments. This suggests a predominantly owner-occupied area with limited rental activity, likely due to the small size of the postcode and its residential nature. The housing stock is likely to consist of traditional properties, reflecting the area’s historical roots in the Heavy Woollen District. For buyers, this means a limited number of available properties, as the area is a small cluster rather than a large development.
