A complete guide to property investment in Burghfield Common.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Burghfield Common is a classic commuter village with a strong family focus and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes, as reflected by its position in the 96th percentile for families and the 68th percentile for owner-occupation. The area has seen steady property price movement, with one-year capital growth of 1.9% and three-year growth of 7.2%, showing a consistent if unspectacular trend. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending an average of 66 days on the market and annual sales at 63, suggesting a market that moves but is not overheated. Affordability is a relative strength here, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.6 that is manageable compared to many commuter hotspots.
For investors, the mix of families, professionals and a low proportion of single occupier households points to stable demand for larger homes. The achieved price typically trails the asking price by £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), hinting at room for negotiation but not a market in distress.

The next 12 months look steady for Burghfield Common, with moderate growth likely to continue given the annualised three-year growth rate of 2.4%. The area’s strong appeal to families and professionals should underpin demand for larger homes, especially with current median asking prices for 3-bedroom houses at £520,000 and 2-bedroom flats at £277,475.
Rental yields in the top postcode district of RG7 remain attractive, and the relatively short average days on market of 66 days suggests liquidity will not be a major concern. Investors should expect a stable environment rather than rapid gains, with negotiation on price still part of the process. Overall, Burghfield Common offers a balanced proposition for those seeking steady, long-term returns with manageable risk.
