Property investment stats for Caldicot, Wales

• The average rental yield in Caldicot stands at 5.1%, which is solid for this part of Wales and gives investors a decent income stream.
• Families make up a large proportion of the local population, sitting in the 68th percentile for Britain, which should help underpin demand for three-bedroom houses (currently asking £295,000 for sale and £1,150 for rent).
• The top postcode district for rental yield offers 4.9%, giving buy-to-let investors a clear target if they want to maximise returns.

• The private rented sector is in the 6th percentile, so there are fewer rental properties relative to most of Britain, which could limit tenant choice or make scaling a portfolio harder.
• Social rented housing is in the 81st percentile, so competition from subsidised rents could affect achievable private rents and tenant profiles.
• The local professional and manager population is in the 20th percentile, which might limit higher-end rental demand or capital appreciation compared to more affluent markets.

Looking ahead, I expect Caldicot to continue its slow-and-steady trajectory. The last year’s capital growth of 0.2% isn’t going to set pulses racing, but the three-year trend is more encouraging at 17.3%. Rental yields should remain stable, with the average at 5.1% and the best-performing areas offering 4.9%.

With annual sales at 98 and properties taking an average of 81 days to sell, the market feels calm rather than frenetic — ideal for investors who like to take their time. Overall, Caldicot won’t suit those hunting for rapid gains or a booming rental market, but for steady income and long-term growth, it’s a reassuringly sensible choice.
