Property investment stats for Amersham, South East

• The average rental yield of 4.1% provides a solid base for income-focused investors, and the top-performing district offers an even higher yield of 4.8%.
• Family demand is strong, as shown by both the high percentile for families and the popularity of three-bedroom houses, with a current median asking sale price of £729,500 and median rent of £2,300.
• The area’s highly educated and professional population (93rd and 96th percentiles respectively) supports both rental and sales demand for quality homes.

• The price-to-income ratio of 8.5 and rent-to-income ratio of 25.6% suggest affordability pressures, which could limit upside for both buyers and tenants.
• The median achieved minus asking price of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount) indicates sellers may need to accept discounts to secure a sale.
• With a low proportion of young adults and single-person households, demand for smaller flats may be more limited than in urban centres.

Looking ahead, Amersham’s property market is likely to continue its slow and steady path. The annualised three-year growth rate of 1.8% suggests that while investors should not expect rapid gains, the market remains resilient. Demand from families and professionals is unlikely to wane, given the area’s strong education and employment profile.

Rental yields should remain attractive, especially in the top-performing districts, and the balance between owner-occupation and private renting supports market stability. Affordability will be a challenge for some buyers, but the area’s fundamentals point to ongoing demand and low volatility.
