Our research indicates limited large-scale new build activity specifically within the CR6 9 postcode. The area characteristically features established housing stock from the mid-20th century rather than new developments. Planning applications in the wider Chelsham and Farleigh Parish primarily show extensions and alterations rather than new construction, meaning buyers are largely looking at existing properties. The lack of new supply helps maintain demand for existing homes but also means buyers may face limited modern options with contemporary energy efficiency ratings.
