Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price of £466,343 places PO10 among the most expensive districts nationally. Price growth over the past decade has averaged 3.0% annually—below the national pace. Transaction activity has moderated, with 257 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 314, reflecting tighter market momentum.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £1,187 sits slightly above the national midpoint. Rental growth has tracked broadly in line with national trends, averaging 4.1% annually over the past decade. Yields have improved notably: the flat yield currently stands at 6.2%, up from a 10-year average of 5.1%, signalling better returns for landlords.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £43,752 is notably above the national average, placing the area in the upper income bracket. However, affordability for purchase has tightened: the price-to-income ratio has risen from 10.3x in 2016 to 11.0x today. Rental affordability has also weakened, with the rent-to-income ratio climbing from 28.9% to 32.1% over the same period.
Resident Demographic Profile
PO10 skews markedly older, with 30.4% of residents aged 65 and over—well above the national figure of 19.6%—and only 7.4% aged 16–24, below the 11.0% national average. Housing tenure reflects this profile: 48.4% own outright (against 33.7% nationally), while private rented accommodation accounts for just 14.4%. The employment mix is weighted towards professionals (22.9%) and managers (16.5%), both above national norms, alongside a notably high share of technical roles at 17%.
