Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £192,000 is well below the national average, placing it among the most affordable areas nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 4.1% per year—a moderate pace that sits around the middle of national performance. Transaction activity last year was broadly in line with the 10-year average, with 188 sales recorded.
Rent & Yield Trends
At £639 per month, rents are significantly below the national average and among the lowest in the country. Rental growth over ten years has averaged 3.2% annually, which is notably slower than the national trend. The flat yield of 5.5% is currently above its 10-year average of 4.6%, indicating improved returns for buy-to-let investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income stands at £33,000, which is well below the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 5.8x has risen from 5.3x in 2016, suggesting that property affordability for buyers has weakened over this period. For renters, the ratio of monthly rent to annual income has also increased from 19.8% to 21.1%, indicating slightly tighter rental affordability.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews considerably older than average, with those aged 50–64 and 65+ together accounting for over half the resident population. The proportion of children (under 15) and young adults (16–24) is notably lower than national figures. Outright home ownership is significantly above average at 45%, whilst private renting is well below the national norm. The employment profile is distinctive for a higher share of trade occupations (16.2%) and caring roles (10.1%), alongside a smaller professional workforce.
