Are new homes being built in Gobowen?

6 of the 109 postcodes now in use in Gobowen came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 6 of the 52 homes sold in Gobowen were newly built (12%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the SY11 district, 5%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.
