Property investment stats for Calne, South West

A complete guide to property investment in Calne.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Calne offers a relatively balanced mix of affordability and potential for investors who are looking for steady returns rather than rapid price increases. The price-to-income ratio of 4.8 suggests that properties are accessible to local buyers, which supports underlying demand and reduces the risk of overstretching. The average rental yield stands at 5.4%, hinting at reasonable returns for landlords, especially given the current rental market pressures. However, capital growth over the past year has changed by -3.5%, which may give some investors pause, though the three-year figure of 13.2% paints a more positive picture.

Should you invest in Calne?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 5.4% is attractive for investors seeking income from lettings.
  • Median asking rents for both three-bedroom houses (£1,300) and two-bedroom flats (£925) are competitive given the area's affordability profile.
  • The top-performing postcode district in Calne has a rental yield of 5.2%, offering targeted opportunities for higher returns.

Risks

  • One-year capital growth has changed by -3.5%, which could signal volatility or a cooling market in the short term.
  • Properties are spending an average of 71 days on the market, which may indicate slower liquidity compared to faster-moving areas.
  • The median discount to asking price is £2,500 (the typical achieved discount), suggesting buyers have room to negotiate and sellers may need to adjust expectations.

Outlook

The next twelve months in Calne are likely to reflect a cautious but stable market. Investors can expect steady rental demand, supported by a price-to-income ratio of 4.8 and a rent-to-income ratio of 23.2%, both of which point to ongoing affordability for tenants and buyers. The three-year annualised growth rate of 4.2% suggests that, despite recent changes, the medium-term trajectory has been positive.

Liquidity could remain moderate, with properties taking around 71 days to sell, and the number of annual sales at 340 indicating a reasonable level of activity. Overall, Calne appears best suited to investors with a long-term outlook who are comfortable with moderate short-term fluctuations in price growth.
