• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -7.5%, and the three-year annualised growth is only 0.2%, indicating subdued price momentum.
• The population skews older, with the 60+ age group in the 83rd percentile, which may limit future demand from younger renters or buyers.

The subdued capital growth of -7.5% over the past year and the muted annualised growth of 0.2% over three years suggest that investors should not expect rapid price rises in the near term.

However, the area's stability and affluent base provide a degree of resilience, even if the rental yield averages only 2.6%. Buyers may continue to benefit from the typical median discount of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount). Overall, Bourne End offers a secure but slow-moving market, best suited to investors seeking long-term stability rather than short-term gains.
