Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in IP14 is £311,000, which sits close to the national midpoint. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.0% annually—a relatively modest pace that places the district below the national average for growth. Transaction volumes remain healthy but have slipped slightly, with 677 sales in the latest full year against a ten-year average of 768.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the broader IP postcode area stands at £957, just below the national median. Rental growth has been strong, however, rising at 4.3% annually over the past decade—well above the national average. The flat yield has improved markedly, now standing at 5.5% compared to a ten-year average of 4.4%, reflecting favourable conditions for rental investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income in IP14 is £42,000, placing it above the national average. However, affordability has deteriorated: the price-to-income ratio has risen from 6.5x in 2016 to 7.7x today, signalling that property has become less accessible relative to local earning power. Rental affordability has similarly worsened, with rent-to-income ratios climbing from 21.4% to 24.5% over the same period.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population is notably older than the national average, with those aged 50–64 and 65+ together accounting for 44.2% of residents compared to 39.4% nationally. Housing tenure shows a strong lean towards ownership, with 72.2% of homes either owned outright or mortgaged—well above the national figure of 60.7%. The employment profile is broadly typical, though trades workers are slightly overrepresented at 12.5% versus 10.5% nationally.
