Property investment stats for Aylesham, South East

• Investors may be attracted by the strong three-year capital growth of 15.7% and an annualised rate of 5.0%, signalling ongoing demand and resilience.
• The top postcode district rental yield of 4.5% could appeal to those seeking stable rental returns in a market with limited private rented stock.
• The median sale price for a 3-bedroom house of £300,000 and median sale price for a 2-bedroom flat of £160,000 suggest entry points that are accessible relative to many parts of the South East.

• The low percentile for private rented housing means rental supply is tight, which could limit options for expanding a rental portfolio or cause competition among landlords.
• With properties spending 76 days on the market, liquidity is reasonable but not rapid, so investors may need patience when selling.
• The area's modest one-year capital growth of 0.4% may not satisfy those looking for short-term gains.

Aylesham's property market appears steady rather than spectacular in the short term, with capital growth over the last year of 0.4% but a much stronger performance over three years. The demographic profile, heavily weighted towards families and couples, underpins demand for larger homes and suggests stability.

Affordability remains a relative strength given the price-to-income ratio of 4.9, and the median asking sale and rent prices for both 3-bedroom houses and 2-bedroom flats (£300,000, £1,450, £160,000, £1,200) are likely to appeal to buyers and tenants seeking value in the South East. Rental yields, while not exceptional, are consistent, and the limited private rented sector could support future rent growth if demand continues to outpace supply. Investors should expect gradual, consistent returns rather than dramatic shifts over the next 12 months.
