Property investment stats for Bedwas, Wales
A complete guide to property investment in Bedwas.
Last updated: 3 November 2025
Investment summary
Bedwas offers a mix of affordability and liquidity, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.9 suggesting that property is accessible to local buyers. The market has seen prices change by -5.7% over the past year, but the longer-term trend is more encouraging, with a three-year capital growth of 24.1% and an annualised growth over three years of 7.5%. Properties tend to move quickly, spending a median of 32 days before selling, which points to steady demand. The median achieved price is typically £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, so there is room for negotiation.
Owner-occupiers make up the majority, while the private rental sector is relatively small, reflecting the area's older demographic — over three-quarters of the population are in the higher age percentiles. This means the market is shaped more by stability than by rapid turnover.

Should you invest in Bedwas?
Opportunities
- Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.1% in the top-performing postcode district, which is attractive for buy-to-let strategies.
- The median sale price for a three-bedroom house is £282,500, while the median rent for the same property type is £900, indicating a potentially healthy rental income relative to purchase price.
- With properties spending just 32 days on the market, liquidity is good, which can be reassuring for those wanting flexibility.
Risks
- The past year has seen property prices change by -5.7%, which may concern those seeking short-term capital gains.
- The area has a high proportion of social rented housing and an older population, which could limit demand growth from younger renters or buyers.
- The degree-educated and professional population is in the lower percentiles, which may influence long-term upward pressure on prices.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Bedwas appears to maintain its appeal for those valuing affordability and market stability. The three-year capital growth of 24.1% and annualised growth of 7.5% suggest that, despite recent changes, the market has performed well over the medium term.
Rental yields remain competitive at 5.1% in the best-performing areas, and with properties selling quickly, investor confidence is likely to remain steady. The demographic profile points to a mature, stable market rather than one driven by rapid population change. For investors prioritising income and liquidity over short-term capital appreciation, Bedwas offers a balanced proposition.
