The flat yield has strengthened to 5.4% in the latest year, up from a 10-year average of 4.5%, reflecting improved returns for buy-to-let investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £47,076 places GU14 well above the national average, ranking among the more affluent areas. Purchase affordability has tightened: the price-to-income ratio has risen from 7.6x in 2016 to 7.9x today, indicating homes have become harder to buy relative to local earnings. Rental affordability has similarly declined, with the rent-to-income ratio increasing from 29.7% to 30.5%, suggesting a larger share of household income is now needed to cover rental costs.

Conversely, the over-65 population is below average at 14.5%, and young adults aged 16–24 are underrepresented at 9.8%. Owner-occupation is stronger than national norms, driven by a higher proportion of mortgaged homes (35.9% vs 27.0%), while outright ownership is lower at 25.9%.
