The property market in BD7 1WW is characterised by a 38% home ownership rate, with houses forming the primary accommodation type. This suggests a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties, though the relatively low ownership percentage points to a market where renting is more common. The area’s housing stock consists largely of traditional homes, many of which are historic, given the parish’s 83 listed buildings. For buyers, this means a limited number of available properties, particularly in a small postcode area. The focus on houses rather than flats may appeal to those seeking family homes or larger living spaces. However, the small size of the area and its proximity to Bradford’s city centre could mean competition for properties, especially given the area’s mix of residential and heritage features. Prospective buyers should consider the balance between ownership opportunities and the potential for rental demand in a community with a stable adult population.
