Should you invest in Bursledon?

Opportunities

  • The relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.9 makes Bursledon more accessible for buyers compared to many southern markets.
  • High family and couple household rates (in the 80th and 90th percentiles) point to steady demand for larger homes, especially three-bedroom houses with a median asking price of £365,000.
  • The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 4.8%, which is higher than the area average and may appeal to yield-focused investors.

Risks

  • The average rental yield of 3.9% is modest, so investors seeking high returns may need to be selective.
  • Annual sales volume is 108, suggesting a smaller, less liquid market that could mean slower exits.
  • Capital growth over the past year changed by -1.3%, reflecting some recent volatility in prices.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Bursledon’s combination of affordability and strong demand from families and couples is likely to underpin ongoing stability. While capital growth over the past year changed by -1.3%, the three-year growth figure of 11.3% and annualised growth of 3.6% suggest a more positive medium-term trend. The median asking rent for a three-bedroom house is £1,500, supporting the case for steady rental income, though yields are not especially high.

With properties spending a median of 86 days on the market, investors should be prepared for moderate liquidity. Overall, Bursledon stands out more for its stability and family appeal than for rapid returns or speculative growth.
