Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price in TQ6 is £512,000, placing it among the most expensive nationally. However, growth has lagged significantly: annual price appreciation of 2.5% over the past decade sits well below the national rate. Transaction volumes have declined notably, with 118 sales in the latest full year compared to a 10-year average of 198 per year.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rent stands at £935, broadly in line with the national middle range. Rental growth has also been subdued, averaging 3.3% annually over ten years—well below the national pace. Yields have improved modestly, rising from a 10-year average of 3.8% to 4.6% in the latest period, reflecting the softer price environment.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income of £38,166 sits precisely at the national median. The price-to-income ratio of 14.0x has worsened since 2016, when it stood at 13.5x, indicating that property has become less affordable relative to earnings. Rental affordability, by contrast, has improved: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen from 28.9% to 27.1%, easing pressure on tenants.
Resident Demographic Profile
TQ6 is markedly older than the national average: nearly one in three residents is aged 65 or over (33.4%), compared to 19.6% nationally, while those aged under 35 represent just 20.4% of the population against 41.9% nationally. Housing tenure is heavily skewed towards outright ownership at 47.8%, nearly 14 percentage points above the national figure. The workforce is notably weighted towards trades (16.0% versus 10.5% nationally) and managers (18.4% versus 13.4%), while professional roles are underrepresented at 14.7%.
