Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price of £400,000 sits above the national midpoint, placing it among the more expensive districts nationally. However, 10-year annualised growth of 3.2% has significantly lagged the national pace, reflecting a period of more modest appreciation. Transaction activity in the latest year stood at 273 sales, below the 10-year average of 311, suggesting a softer market relative to historic patterns.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents of £1,757 rank among the highest nationally, reflecting the area's premium location relative to Greater London. Rent growth of 3.6% over the past decade has been below the national average, indicating slower upward momentum in the rental market. The flat yield of 5.9% has recovered above its 10-year average of 4.8%, signalling improved returns for rental investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £43,360 sits comfortably above the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 9.9x has widened since 2016 (when it stood at 8.5x), indicating that property has become less affordable relative to earnings over this period. On the rental side, the rent-to-income ratio of 36.8% has improved from 39.2% in 2016, suggesting that rents have grown more slowly than household incomes, easing rental pressure.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews notably toward the 35–49 age bracket at 20.5%, above the national average of 18.7%, reflecting a mature family demographic. The 16–24 cohort is underrepresented at 9.2% compared to the national 11.0%, suggesting fewer young adults in the district. Mortgage ownership is elevated at 32.2% against the national 27.0%, while trades occupations account for 12.8% of employment versus 10.5% nationally, indicating a stronger skilled workforce presence.
