Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in BS27 is £381,000, placing it slightly above the national midpoint. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.7% annually—broadly in line with the national average. Transaction activity has slowed modestly, with 112 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 131 per year.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the wider BS area stands at £1,592, well above the national norm and reflecting strong rental demand across Bristol and Somerset. Rental growth over ten years has been rapid at 5.4% annually, among the fastest seen nationally. Flat yield has improved to 5.7% in the latest year from a 10-year average of 4.8%, signalling an increasingly attractive proposition for buy-to-let investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £42,806 sits comfortably above the national average. However, purchase affordability has deteriorated: the price-to-income ratio has risen to 9.3x from 7.8x in 2016, placing properties further out of reach for local earners. Rental affordability has similarly weakened, with the rent-to-income ratio climbing to 41.1% from 34.8%, indicating that renters now spend a substantially larger share of income on housing.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews significantly older than the national average, with over a quarter aged 65 and above compared to just under one-fifth nationally; the 50–64 age group is also notably larger. Younger cohorts, particularly those aged 16–34, are underrepresented. Owner-occupation is pronounced: 45.5% own their homes outright (well above the 33.7% national figure), and a further 29.5% own with a mortgage. Private renting is correspondingly lower at 13.8%. The employment profile is weighted towards managers and professionals, who together account for a larger share of the workforce than nationally.
