Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £492,537 places CH60 among the most expensive nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 4.3% annually—a solid pace, broadly in line with national trends. Transaction activity has softened in the latest year, with 189 sales compared to a 10-year average of 236, reflecting a modest slowdown in turnover.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £855 sits well below the national average, typical of more affordable regions. Rental growth over ten years has been 3.8% annually, close to the national median. The flat yield of 5.2% represents a material improvement on the 10-year average of 4.6%, indicating stronger returns for landlords in the current market.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household net income of £43,218 is notably above the national average. However, affordability for purchasers has deteriorated: the price-to-income ratio now stands at 10.9x, up from 8.5x in 2016, reflecting price growth outpacing earnings. Rental affordability has remained broadly stable, with the rent-to-income ratio edging slightly from 24% to 24.5% over the same period.

The population is distinctly older than average: those aged 50 and above comprise 55.2% of residents, compared to 39.4% nationally, while those aged 16–24 are notably underrepresented at 7.4% against 11% nationally. Homeownership is exceptionally high, with 53% owning outright and 32% with a mortgage—leaving just 8.5% in private rental and 6.1% in social housing. The employment mix skews heavily towards affluent professions: 32.4% work in professional roles and 18.2% in managerial positions, well above national averages, while manual trades and elementary work are proportionally scarce.
