Over the past decade, prices have grown at 2.4% annually — among the slowest-growing areas nationally. Transaction activity has softened noticeably, with 173 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 224, reflecting reduced market momentum.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent in the TA postcode area is £945, modestly below the national average. Rental growth over the past decade has been steady at 3.5% per year, but this remains slower than national trends. The flat yield has improved to 6.0% from a 10-year average of 5.3%, suggesting rental income has become more attractive relative to capital value in recent years.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income of £38,484 is in line with the national median. The price-to-income ratio of 9.0x has risen from 8.0x in 2016, indicating that property has become less affordable relative to earnings over that period. Rental affordability has also tightened slightly, with rent-to-income rising from 26.5% in 2016 to 27.1% today.
Resident Demographic Profile
The population skews considerably older, with over 30% aged 65 and above — nearly a decade and a half above the national average — and notably few young adults (7% aged 16–24, well below the 11% national norm). Housing tenure is dominated by outright ownership at 46.4%, substantially higher than the national 33.7%, reflecting the age profile. The employment mix is characterised by a notably strong trades workforce at 16.4% — significantly above the 10.5% national average — alongside a slightly elevated caring sector at 10.6%.
