Not all parts of Frome are built the same — and that matters when you're buying, selling, investing, or letting.

This map shows the proportion of homes that are flats or apartments across the Frome area. Lighter areas have fewer flats, while darker shades reveal hotspots where flats make up a significant share of the housing stock.

Why does this matter? Because different types of properties attract different types of buyers and tenants.

A street dominated by apartments is more likely to appeal to first-time buyers or renters. Meanwhile, areas with fewer flats tend to attract families or long-term owner occupiers looking for more space.

If you're a Frome homeowner considering a sale, understanding the makeup of our local market helps you price and position your property correctly. And if you're a landlord or investor, knowing where the supply (and demand) for flats is highest can guide smarter decisions about where to buy next.

The Frome property market isn't one-size-fits-all. It's the local micro trends – like this – that help you stay ahead of the curve.
