Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.6% annually, broadly in line with national trends. Transaction activity has declined recently, with 474 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 621, suggesting a softening in market momentum.

Rental growth over ten years has been 3.5% per annum, slightly below the national average pace. The flat yield has improved to 6.0% in the latest year from a 10-year average of 5.2%, indicating that rental income relative to property values is now more attractive than historically.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income is £35,432, modestly below the national average. The price-to-income ratio has risen to 6.2x from 5.8x in 2016, meaning properties are now less affordable relative to earnings than they were eight years ago. Rental affordability has held steady, with rent consuming 22.8% of household income compared to 23% in 2016, indicating tenancy costs remain proportionally stable.

The young adult cohort aged 16–24 is notably underrepresented at 9.2% versus the national 11%. Housing tenure is marked by a strong prevalence of mortgage ownership at 37.5%, well above the 27% national figure, suggesting a population of working-age homebuyers. Employment is weighted towards technical roles at 14% and skilled trades at 11%, both above national norms, reflecting a workforce with practical and engineering-oriented skills.
