Since the 1st of January 2019, 9.1 million homes have come onto the UK property market.
 
I here at Millbanks of Attleborough, Norfolk wanted to look at the breakdown of the distribution of property types within that figure. 
 
Most of these homes, 66% of these were houses. Flats made up around 20%, and bungalows accounted for 8%, reflecting the diverse nature of housing stock available across the country.
 
The remaining 6% includes various other types of properties, such as retirement homes, mixed-use residential and commercial properties, HMO’s and mobile homes etc. 
 
This data highlights the ongoing prominence of houses in the market, but also shows a significant portion of flats and bungalows, which cater to different buyer preferences and lifestyle needs.
 
For those interested in the property market, these figures offer a clear picture of the types of homes entering the market in recent years and provide useful insights for estate agents, investors, and potential buyers alike.

Instead, regional differences are becoming clearer, with some areas still seeing modest growth while others, particularly in the South, are starting to soften.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.
