Rent & Yield Trends
Rental levels average £1,478 per month, positioning the area among the most expensive for renters nationally. Rent growth of 3.6% over the past decade is below the national average, indicating relatively restrained rental inflation. The flat yield of 5.6% represents a marked improvement on the 10-year average of 4.6%, reflecting a tightening gap between rents and property values.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £46,000 is well above the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 9.9x has remained unchanged since 2016, indicating that affordability for purchasers has neither improved nor deteriorated.
