Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price in CF61 is £284,000, positioning it below the national average. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.4% annually—a pace slightly below the UK trend. Transaction activity has softened recently, with 110 sales recorded in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 143, suggesting a less active market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent across the broader CF postcode area stands at £950, below the national median. Rental growth has been notably strong, rising 4.8% annually over the past decade—among the strongest growth rates nationally. The flat yield has improved to 5.2% in the latest period from a 10-year average of 4.5%, reflecting a strengthening rental return relative to property values.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income of £38,530 is broadly in line with the national average. Purchase affordability has deteriorated: the price-to-income ratio has widened from 7.3x in 2016 to 8.5x today, making properties harder to access relative to local earnings. Rental affordability, however, has improved slightly, with the rent-to-income ratio narrowing from 26.4% to 26%.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population is notably older than average: over a quarter (25.2%) are aged 65 or above, compared to 19.6% nationally, whilst those aged 25–34 are significantly underrepresented at 10% against 13.4% nationally. Housing tenure reflects strong owner-occupation, with 45.8% owning outright—well above the 33.7% national average—and correspondingly lower private renting at 14.2%. The employment profile is distinctive for higher technical roles (15.5% vs 13.2% nationally) and caring occupations (10.1% vs 9.2%), though elementary occupations are notably lower at 7.9%.
