The property market in BD2 1QG is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 78% of residents living in properties they own. The accommodation type is primarily houses, which is unusual for a small postcode area but reflects the historical development of the village. Many properties date back to the 1930s, when semi-detached housing replaced older structures, suggesting a mix of traditional and mid-century architecture. This makes the area appealing to buyers seeking characterful homes, though the compact size of the postcode means the housing stock is limited. The high home ownership rate indicates a stable market, with little turnover. For buyers, this means competition for available properties, but also potential for long-term investment. The proximity to Bradford’s amenities and transport links adds value, though the small area size means buyers must consider nearby suburbs for more extensive housing options.
