The property market in BD6 3YB is characterised by a high rate of home ownership (65%) and a predominance of houses. This suggests a market skewed towards owner-occupied properties rather than rental units, which may limit availability for buyers seeking to rent. The compact size of the area, covering just 1.2 hectares, means housing stock is limited, potentially increasing competition among buyers. The focus on houses rather than flats or apartments may appeal to those prioritising space and private outdoor areas. However, the small geographical footprint means buyers must consider proximity to surrounding areas for additional options. The high home ownership rate also indicates a stable market, with properties likely to hold value over time.
