The latest average property price of £474,000 places RH1 among the most expensive nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.5% annually—broadly in line with the national average. Transaction activity has declined notably, with 582 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 778, suggesting a slower market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £1,478 sits well above the national average, reflecting the area's affluent character. Rent growth over ten years has been moderate at 3.6% annually, below the national pace. The flat yield of 5.6% is now notably higher than its 10-year average of 4.6%, signalling improved rental returns in recent years.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £50,908 is well above the national average, placing the area among the most affluent nationally. The price-to-income ratio of 8.7x has improved slightly since 2016 (8.8x), indicating modest affordability gains for buyers. Rental affordability, however, has deteriorated: the rent-to-income ratio has risen from 30.4% to 31.8%, suggesting tenants now allocate a larger share of earnings to housing costs.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population is notably family-oriented, with above-average shares of children under 15 (20.7%) and working-age adults aged 35–49 (24%), while young adults aged 16–24 are significantly underrepresented at 8.2%. Housing tenure is markedly skewed towards ownership: 35.2% own with a mortgage and 26.2% own outright, well above national norms, while social renting is below average at 12.2%. Professionally and technically skilled workers dominate the employment profile, with professionals at 28.6% and technical roles at 15.5%, both well above national averages; by contrast, trade workers and elementary roles are notably scarce.
