Property investment stats for Aldershot, South East

• Yields are attractive, with an average rental yield of 6.8% and even higher returns in the top-performing postcode (7.4%).
• The strong presence of private renters and a high proportion of families (in the 75th percentile) create a stable pool of potential tenants.
• Homes are relatively affordable for buyers, as shown by the price-to-income ratio of 4.7 and median price per square foot of £367 per sq ft.

• Short-term capital growth has changed by -3.6%, suggesting limited price momentum in the past year.

• The area has a below-average proportion of professionals and managers (in the 31st percentile), which could limit demand for higher-end property.

Rental prospects in Aldershot look promising, supported by strong yields of 6.8% and a dynamic private rental sector. Affordability remains a draw for both investors and tenants, with asking prices for 3-bedroom houses at £450,000 and 2-bedroom flats at £225,000.

Sales activity is steady, and homes sell in a reasonable timeframe (41 days), which should give investors confidence in liquidity. While recent capital growth has been subdued (-3.6% over the past year), the longer-term trend (1.4% annualised over three years) is still positive. Investors should expect rental returns to remain the main attraction in the coming year, with capital appreciation likely to be gradual rather than dramatic.
