Over the past five years, property prices have appreciated at 1.8% compound annual growth, significantly below the UK benchmark, whilst rental yields have expanded at 5.4% annually—a notable differential suggesting landlord demand outpaces capital appreciation.

These metrics collectively indicate a market characterised by rental income potential rather than capital growth expectations.
