Property investment stats for Bognor Regis, South East

• Rental yields are robust here, with an average of 5.9% and the top-performing postcode district achieving 6.3%.
• The private rented sector is relatively large, sitting in the 69th percentile nationally, which supports consistent rental demand.
• The current median asking rents for 3-bedroom houses (£1,600) and 2-bedroom flats (£1,100) both look competitive given the local income ratios.

• The local population skews older, with those aged 60 and over in the 89th percentile, which may limit natural growth in rental demand from younger tenants or families.
• The degree-educated and professional population is well below the national median, which could affect future wage growth and property values.
• Families are underrepresented, in the 14th percentile, so demand for larger homes may be more limited than in other areas.

Rental investors can expect steady demand, especially given the area’s sizeable private rented sector and strong rental yields of 5.9%. The annualised growth over 3 years of 2.3% suggests that while capital appreciation is not rapid, it has been consistent over the medium term. The median discount to asking price of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) points to some room for negotiation, which can be useful for buyers.

Affordability remains a draw, and liquidity is supported by reasonable transaction volumes and time on market. However, with a population profile that leans older and a relatively small pool of higher-earning professionals, investors should temper expectations for rapid price growth. Overall, Bognor Regis looks best suited to those prioritising income over speculative capital gains in the next 12 months.
