Transaction activity has slowed noticeably; the latest year saw 144 sales compared to a 10-year average of 198 per year, suggesting a tightening market.
Rent & Yield Trends

Rents have also grown rapidly, rising 4.6% annually over the decade—well above the national average. The flat yield currently stands at 5.4%, a marked improvement from the 10-year average of 4.5%, reflecting stronger rental returns in the current market.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £39,000 is close to the national median, indicating broadly typical earning levels for the area. The price-to-income ratio of 6.4x has risen slightly since 2016 (when it was 6.3x), suggesting that property affordability has weakened marginally over that period. Rental affordability has also deteriorated; the rent-to-income ratio has risen from 35.9% to 37.2% in the same timeframe, indicating that housing costs have outpaced income growth.
