However, transaction activity has weakened; the latest year saw 202 sales against a 10-year average of 271, representing a notable decline in market turnover.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the broader CF area is £950, slightly below the national midpoint. Rental growth has been exceptionally strong at 4.8% per year over the past decade, significantly outpacing the national trend. The flat yield currently stands at 5.2%, up from a 10-year average of 4.5%, signalling improving returns for landlords.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household net income of £34,143 is below the national average, placing the area in the lower-middle income band. The price-to-income ratio has risen to 5.9x from 5.5x in 2016, indicating that purchasing affordability has tightened modestly over the past eight years. Rental affordability has improved slightly; the rent-to-income ratio has eased from 26.4% to 26%, suggesting rents are consuming a marginally smaller share of household budgets.
Resident Demographic Profile
