Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in CW11 is £311,000, which is close to the national midpoint. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.9% annually—a modest rate that sits slightly above the national average. Transaction activity has declined: last year saw 462 sales compared to a 10-year average of 611, reflecting a softening in market momentum.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents in the broader CW postcode area stand at £956, placing them slightly below the national average. Rent growth over the past ten years has been 4.1% annually, modestly ahead of the national pace. The flat yield has risen to 6.7%, up from a 10-year average of 5.7%, indicating a strengthening rental return for investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £40,776 is meaningfully above the national average. However, affordability has tightened: the price-to-income ratio has risen from 6.7x in 2016 to 7.0x today, signalling that properties have become harder to access relative to local earnings. Rental affordability has also deteriorated, with the rent-to-income ratio climbing from 23.6% to 26.8% over the same period.

The population skews notably older and more affluent than national norms. Those aged 50–64 make up 22.3% (against a national 19.8%), and over-65s represent 23% (versus 19.6% nationally), while under-16s are slightly underrepresented at 16.9%. Housing tenure reflects this profile: 41% own their home outright (well above the 33.7% national average) and 35.8% own with a mortgage (above the 27% average), whilst private renting is markedly lower at 11.9%. The workforce is weighted toward professionals (23.1%) and managers (16.8%), both significantly above national shares, whilst elementary occupations are less common at 7.4%.
