The property market in BD3 7YU is characterised by a 45% home ownership rate, which is lower than the national average, indicating a significant portion of the housing stock is rented. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is unusual for a postcode area of this size, suggesting a focus on family-friendly or semi-detached housing. This mix of ownership and rental properties may appeal to buyers seeking a balance between affordability and long-term investment.
