Property investment stats for Bracknell, South East

• Bracknell’s average rental yield of 6.2% is attractive, especially for those targeting stable rental income.
• The area’s median achieved minus asking price of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests there is room for negotiation or added value on purchase.
• The high proportion of families and couples in the area points to consistent demand for larger homes, supporting the median rent for a 3-bedroom house of £2,050.

• The capital growth over 1 year of -2.2% shows that prices have changed by this amount, so short-term appreciation is not guaranteed.
• With a rent-to-income ratio of 21.0%, affordability may be stretched for some tenants, potentially limiting future rent increases.
• Owner-occupation and private renting are both around the 40th percentile, so liquidity may not be as high as in more transient or highly owned areas.

Looking ahead, Bracknell’s fundamentals seem steady. The annualised growth over 3 years of 2.1% shows measured progress, and the capital growth over 3 years of 6.4% suggests there’s been some upward movement despite the recent 1-year change. Rental demand is likely to remain strong given the area’s family-friendly profile and the median rent for a 2-bedroom flat of £1,550.

Affordability is a plus here compared to many parts of the South East, and the area’s balance of owner-occupiers and renters helps underpin stability. Investors should expect gradual rather than spectacular capital growth, but healthy yields and consistent demand make Bracknell a solid long-term play.
