Property investment stats for Ashingdon, East of England
A complete guide to property investment in Ashingdon.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Investment summary
Ashingdon is a place where tradition and stability set the tone for property investment. The area is dominated by owner-occupied homes, sitting right at the top end for this across Britain, while private and social renting are almost non-existent. The local market feels steady, with homes typically taking 57 days to sell and a median price per square foot of £393 per sq ft. Families and couples make up the bulk of local households, and the population skews older, with those aged 60 and up in the 84th percentile nationally.
Prices have changed by -5.1% over the last year, though over the past three years, capital growth stands at 3.0%, or an annualised 1.0%. This is a market where change tends to come slowly, and liquidity is shaped by the area's appeal to long-term residents rather than fast movers.

Should you invest in Ashingdon?
Opportunities
- The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 5.0%, which stands out given the low prevalence of private renting in the area.
- There is a healthy volume of annual sales at 101, suggesting a reasonably active market for those looking to buy or sell.
- The median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) hints at some room for negotiation for buyers.
Risks
- With owner-occupation in the 99th percentile and private renting right at the bottom, there is limited scope for buy-to-let investors seeking a large rental market.
- Capital growth over the last year has changed by -5.1%, which may concern those looking for short-term gains.
- The population is older and the proportion of younger adults is low, which could affect future demand dynamics.
Outlook
Looking ahead, I expect Ashingdon to continue favouring stability over rapid change. The high owner-occupancy and older population suggest turnover will stay relatively low, but steady. Affordability is shaped by a price-to-income ratio of 6.2, and asking prices for family homes and flats — £450,000 and £270,000 respectively — set the tone for buyers.
Rental demand is unlikely to surge, given how few homes are privately rented, but for those who do let, the yield in the top postcode district of 5.0% is attractive. Overall, Ashingdon looks set to remain a market for patient, long-term investors rather than those chasing quick wins or dramatic shifts in value.
