Property Price & Volume Trends
The latest average property price in SA67 is £267,000, placing it well below the national average—among the cheaper quarters of the UK market. Over the past decade, prices have grown by 2.6% annually, a rate significantly slower than the national average, reflecting the area's limited market dynamism. Transaction activity has softened recently, with 93 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 127, suggesting reduced buyer interest.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the broader SA postcode area is £716, substantially below the national average and among the lowest-rent areas in the UK. Over ten years, rents have grown at 3.5% annually, a pace modestly slower than the national trend. The flat yield currently stands at 4.8%, notably above its 10-year average of 4.1%, indicating improving returns for rental investors despite the low absolute rent levels.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income is £33,421, placing the area well below the national average at around the lower fifth of UK earnings. The purchase price-to-income ratio stands at 8.2x, having deteriorated slightly from 8.0x in 2016, signalling that property has become less affordable relative to local earnings. Rental affordability has improved meaningfully: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen from 23.8% in 2016 to 21.7% today, easing the burden on local renters.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population is markedly older than the national average: those aged 65 and over comprise 28.7% of residents (nearly 50% above the national share), while under-15s at 14.8% are notably underrepresented. Housing tenure is dominated by outright ownership at 48.6%—far above the national average of 33.7%—reflecting a predominantly retired and settled population with limited mortgage debt. The employment mix is distinctive for a higher proportion of trades workers (17.6%, well above the national 10.5%) and caring roles (11.3% versus 9.2% nationally), alongside notably fewer professionals and managers than the UK average.
