Over the past decade, prices have grown at 2.7% annually—well below the national average, reflecting modest capital appreciation. Transaction activity has softened recently, with 302 sales in the latest year compared to a 10-year average of 376, suggesting a quieter market.
Rent & Yield Trends
Monthly rents average £668 across the TS postcode area, positioning it among the cheapest rental markets nationally.

The flat yield has improved to 6.6% from a 10-year average of 5.8%, indicating strengthening returns for landlords despite modest rental growth.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average household income stands at £14,000, substantially below the national average and among the lowest nationally. Purchase affordability has deteriorated markedly: the price-to-income ratio has risen to 12.1x from 5.4x in 2016, making homeownership increasingly stretched.
