Over the past decade, prices have grown at 3.8% per year—a moderate pace slightly below the national average.

Rent & Yield Trends

Rents have grown at 3.9% annually over ten years, keeping pace with national rental growth. The flat yield has recently reached 5.6%, notably above its 10-year average of 4.9%, indicating improved returns for buy-to-let investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Net household income averages £43,769, placing the area among the higher-income districts nationally. The price-to-income ratio currently stands at 9.9x, having risen from 8.0x in 2016, reflecting a meaningful deterioration in purchase affordability over the past eight years. Rental affordability has also worsened: the rent-to-income ratio has increased from 30.9% to 34.3%, suggesting renters now allocate a larger share of income to housing costs.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews notably older than the national average, with 23.7% aged 65 and over compared to 19.6% nationally, and a shortfall of younger adults aged 16–24 at 8.7% versus 11.0% nationally. Housing tenure is heavily weighted towards outright ownership at 43.6%, well above the 33.7% national figure, with corresponding below-average levels of private and social renting. The employment profile is marked by stronger representation in technical and managerial roles (15.5% and 14.8% respectively) alongside higher administrative employment, but notably lower elementary and caring employment than the national average.
