None of the properties are owner occupied as the properties are leased by Annington.

There are 966 Annington-managed properties within the disposal sites identified in "A Better Defence Estate" all of which are leased back to the Ministry of Defence. As of 7 November 2016, 774 are occupied and 192 are currently void.

The information for properties that are awaiting redeployment of troops and that are being used as temporary accommodation whilst properties are upgraded is not held.
