Investment summary

Aylsham is a market town that sits comfortably above average for owner-occupied homes, with a population that skews older and a relatively high proportion of single occupier households.

The median price per square foot stands at £316 per sq ft, and homes are typically snapped up in around 39 days, which suggests a steady pace for sales.

Should you invest in Aylsham?

Opportunities

  • The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £325,000, while the median asking rent for the same property is £2,000, offering a clear picture for those considering the buy-to-let route.
  • Rental yields in the top performing postcode district are 3.3%, which could appeal to income-focused investors.
  • The market's liquidity, with homes spending just 39 days on the market, means investors may not have to wait long to see their properties sell.

Risks

  • The 1-year capital growth of -1.7% suggests that short-term price appreciation has not been a highlight recently.
  • The area has a very low proportion of residents aged 20-40 and families, with percentiles of 3 and 9 respectively, which could limit demand growth from younger buyers or renters.
  • The achieved minus asking price is currently £4,000 (the typical achieved discount), indicating buyers may be negotiating harder on price.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Aylsham is likely to remain stable, especially given its older demographic and high rate of owner-occupation. The three-year capital growth of 7.7% and annualised growth of 2.5% point towards a market that may reward patience rather than speculation. With a steady number of annual sales at 110 and properties moving in 39 days, the market shows signs of healthy activity, even if not breakneck speed.

Rental yields in the top postcode district of NR11 are currently 3.3%, which, while not headline-grabbing, provide a reliable benchmark for returns. Affordability remains reasonable, and the market's current structure suggests that investors willing to hold for the medium to long term will find Aylsham a reassuring, if not thrilling, place to park their capital.
