Property investment stats for Chalford, South West

• The three-year capital growth of 20.3% and annualised growth of 6.4% offer reassurance for those seeking long-term gains.
• Properties are achieving a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), suggesting buyers have room to negotiate.
• The top postcode district shows a rental yield of 3.3%, which is higher than the village average and could appeal to yield-focused investors.

• The average rental yield is 2.5%, which may not excite investors looking for strong income returns.
• One-year capital growth changed by -4.6%, so short-term capital appreciation is uncertain.
• Properties are taking an average of 92 days to sell, which may impact liquidity for investors needing a quick exit.

Looking ahead, Chalford’s property market is likely to retain its appeal for buyers who value stability and a strong community feel. The dominance of owner-occupiers and couples means demand is steady, but don’t expect a rush of young renters or a surge in short-term lets. While the average rental yield of 2.5% and rent-to-income ratio of 17.6% suggest limited rental upside, investors focused on capital growth may find the three-year figures encouraging.

With current median asking prices for a three-bedroom house at £472,500 and a two-bedroom flat at £295,000, affordability sits in a comfortable range for the region. Overall, Chalford should continue to attract buyers seeking a settled, long-term outlook, though investors with a short time horizon or a preference for high yields may want to look elsewhere.
