Should you invest in Caerphilly?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.3%, which are competitive for the region.
  • The capital growth over three years of 20.4% and annualised growth of 6.4% indicate the potential for long-term appreciation.
  • The high proportion of families and owner-occupiers suggests stable rental demand for larger homes, supported by the median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house of £1,100.

Risks

  • The relatively low proportion of private rented housing (15th percentile) could mean limited turnover and slower growth in the rental sector.
  • The median discount to asking price of £2,750 (the typical achieved discount) may reflect some negotiation power for buyers, which could indicate softer demand at higher price points.
  • The student and young professional populations are not especially high, so demand for smaller flats may be more limited than in urban centres.

Outlook

The next twelve months look steady for Caerphilly. The combination of capital growth over one year of 5.4%, solid rental yields and a price-to-income ratio of 5.0 points to a balanced market. Affordability remains a strength, with the median price per square foot at £273 per sq ft and a median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house of £257,475.

While the area is unlikely to see runaway growth, the fundamentals are sound. Investors can expect moderate appreciation and reliable rental income, especially in family-oriented segments. Liquidity is reasonable, with annual sales of 449 and a typical marketing period of 53 days. The overall outlook is positive, provided investors focus on the most in-demand property types.
