Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in SA2 stands at £306,000, placing it close to the national average. Over the past decade, the area has seen annualised price growth of 5.3%, which is among the fastest growth rates nationally. However, transaction volumes have softened: the latest year recorded 396 sales compared to a 10-year average of 511, suggesting reduced activity in the current market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Rental costs in the broader SA postcode area are well below the national average, with a typical monthly rent of £716. Ten-year rent growth of 3.5% has been slower than the national average. The current flat yield of 4.8% represents a notable improvement on the 10-year average of 4.1%, indicating strengthening returns for landlords in recent times.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income in SA2 is £28,304, significantly below the national average. The price-to-income ratio of 9.5x has worsened substantially since 2016, when it stood at 7.1x, reflecting that purchase affordability has declined considerably. Rental affordability has improved: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen from 23.8% in 2016 to 21.7% today, easing the burden for tenants.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews notably older than average, with those aged 16–24 representing 19% of residents—significantly higher than the national figure of 11%—and those aged 65+ at 20.4%, above the national average of 19.6%. The working-age population under 15 is below average at 14.4%. Employment is heavily weighted towards professional roles, which account for 28.1% of the workforce, well above the national average of 20.5%; by contrast, trades and plant/machinery roles are underrepresented. Housing tenure is broadly similar to national patterns, with no significant departures.
