Are new homes being built in Wantage?

36 of the 371 postcodes now in use in Wantage came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 52 of the 280 homes sold in Wantage were newly built (19%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the OX12 district, 24%.

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.

Is Wantage at risk of flooding?

14 of the 371 postcodes in Wantage have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 17 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 14 of 371 postcodes High: 16Medium: 1Low: 97Very low: 53

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. 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.
