The newest postcodes
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.
New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In Wilford | Across the NG11 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to August 2026 | 0 of 70 (0%) | 21 of 419 (5%) |
