Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in CH64 is £346,000, placing it at the national midpoint. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.4% annually—below the national average rate—reflecting steadier, more modest appreciation than many UK hotspots. Transaction activity has eased slightly, with 266 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 306, suggesting a gently cooling market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the broader CH postcode area stands at £855, well below the national average. Rents have grown at 3.8% annually over ten years, in line with national trends. The current flat yield of 5.2% is encouraging for investors, representing a meaningful uplift from the 10-year average of 4.6%, indicating improving rental returns despite modest capital growth.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £38,065 is close to the national median. Affordability has tightened: the price-to-income ratio has risen from 7.4x in 2016 to 9.9x today, a substantial shift that reflects price growth outpacing earnings. Rental affordability has remained broadly stable, with rent-to-income ratio holding near 24.5% across the same period.
