Transaction activity has slowed compared to the long-term trend, with 173 sales in the latest year against a 10-year average of 223.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents of £1,592 are among the highest nationally. Rental growth over the past decade has been exceptionally strong at 5.4% per year—well above the national norm. The current flat yield of 5.7% has improved noticeably from its 10-year average of 4.8%, reflecting a tightening rental market relative to capital values.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £45,160 is notably above the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 9.7x has worsened slightly since 2016 (9.5x), signalling reduced purchase affordability. Rental affordability has deteriorated more sharply, with rents now consuming 41.1% of income compared to 34.8% in 2016.

Those aged 65+ represent 22% of residents—well above the 19.6% national norm—while young adults aged 16–24 are significantly underrepresented at 8.7%. Housing tenure is weighted heavily towards ownership: 41.4% own outright and 36.8% own with a mortgage, while private renting accounts for only 9.8%. The workforce is skewed towards professional and managerial roles (38.1% combined) and administrative work (11.7%), with notably fewer elementary workers (6.9% versus 10.2% nationally).
