Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £409,000 sits above the national median, placing it among moderately expensive areas nationally. Over the past decade, prices have grown at 4.3% annually—a pace above the national average—reflecting steady if unspectacular appreciation. Transaction activity has declined markedly, with 113 sales in the latest year against a 10-year average of 188, suggesting a thinning of the market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent of £945 sits notably below the national average. Rental growth has lagged nationally too, at 3.5% annually compared to stronger growth elsewhere. The flat yield now stands at 6.0%, up from its 10-year average of 5.3%, indicating a recent improvement in rental returns for investors.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £40,796 is modestly above the national median. The price-to-income ratio of 9.9x has worsened since 2016 (when it stood at 8.9x), signalling that homes have become less affordable relative to local earnings. Rental affordability has also tightened: the rent-to-income ratio has risen from 26.5% to 27.1%, though only marginally.
Resident Demographic Profile
The area has a notably older population: nearly 30% are aged 65 and above, well above the national average of 19.6%, whilst those aged 16–24 comprise just 7.7% compared to 11.0% nationally. Outright home ownership is very high at 47.8% versus the national 33.7%, reflecting the prevalence of older, long-term residents. The employment profile skews strongly towards trades (14.8% against 10.5% nationally), whilst professional roles are underrepresented at 16.5% versus the national 20.5%.
