Property Price & Volume Trends
The current average property price of £539,000 places IP10 among the most expensive nationally, ranking in the top fifth. Annualised price growth over the past decade has been 2.9%, significantly below the national average—placing it in the slowest-growing quartile nationally. Transaction activity in the latest year was 34 sales, notably lower than the 10-year average of 43, suggesting a quieter market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £957 sits close to the national middle ground, with rental growth over ten years at 4.3% placing the area among stronger performers nationally. Flat yield currently stands at 5.5%, notably above its 10-year average of 4.4%, reflecting improved rental returns relative to capital values over this period.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income of £43,193 sits comfortably above the national average, in the upper third. However, the price-to-income ratio of 11.7x has deteriorated significantly since 2016 when it stood at 9.4x, signalling that homes have become less affordable relative to local earnings. Rental affordability has also worsened, with rent-to-income ratio rising from 21.4% in 2016 to 24.5% today.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population is notably older than average, with 23.8% aged 50–64 and 24.2% aged 65 and over—both well above national norms. Young adults aged 16–24 are significantly underrepresented at 8.3% compared to the national average of 11.0%. Owner occupation is particularly strong at 78.6% (outright plus mortgaged), well above the national combined average of 60.7%, while private rental is correspondingly low at 13.9%.
