Transaction activity last year reached 182 sales, a decrease from the 10-year average of 234, indicating a recent slowdown in market momentum.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents of £1,533 are significantly above the national typical, reflecting strong rental demand in the area.

Rental affordability has weakened, however: the rent-to-income ratio has risen to 35.6% from 33.7% in 2016, suggesting rental costs now consume a larger share of household earnings.
