However, the area has experienced notably strong price growth over the past decade, with annualised increases of 4.4% outpacing the vast majority of UK postcodes. Transaction activity has slowed markedly in the latest year, with 219 sales against a 10-year average of 347 per annum.

The flat yield has improved recently to 6.0%, up from a 10-year average of 5.3%, reflecting favourable rental returns relative to capital values.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £39,000 is roughly in line with the national average. Purchase affordability has improved substantially since 2016, with the price-to-income ratio falling from 6.1x to 5.3x, indicating properties are now more accessible relative to local incomes.
