The property market in BD7 2EY is characterised by a 52% home ownership rate, with the remaining 48% of residents likely to be in the rental market. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, though the area’s compact size of 1.3 hectares implies these are likely terraced or semi-detached properties. Given the high population density of 170,575 people per square kilometre, the housing stock is likely to be older and more densely packed, offering limited scope for larger homes. For buyers, this small area presents a challenge: the limited land area and high demand may mean competition for properties, particularly for those seeking more space. The proximity to retail and rail amenities makes it attractive for commuters, but the lack of data on property prices or recent developments means potential buyers must conduct further due diligence. The mix of owner-occupied and rental properties suggests a stable market, though the small size of the area may limit long-term investment opportunities.
