Are new homes being built in Pontesbury?

8 of the 88 postcodes now in use in Pontesbury came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 6 of the 36 homes sold in Pontesbury were newly built (17%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the SY5 district, 15%.

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.

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
