Selling a Bungalow in Orpington BR6


If you are selling a bungalow in Orpington BR6, you are in a unique and often advantageous position.

Bungalows are in short supply, consistently in demand, and attract a very specific buyer profile. When priced and marketed correctly, they often sell strongly and efficiently.

This guide explains who buys bungalows in Orpington, what those buyers are looking for, and how Integra Estates helps bungalow owners achieve the best possible result.


Why Bungalows Are in Demand in Orpington BR6

Bungalows in Orpington BR6 appeal to buyers who value practicality and long-term comfort.

In Orpington, demand is driven by:


  • Downsizers seeking single-level living

  • Buyers planning for retirement

  • Families needing accessible layouts

  • Buyers relocating from London for space

Pricing a Bungalow Correctly

Pricing a bungalow requires a different approach to pricing houses.

  • Layout and flow

  • Garden usability

  • Parking and access

  • Future adaptability


Overpricing can deter cautious buyers, while accurate pricing often creates competition.
