Property investment stats for Chandler's Ford, South East

• Investors benefit from strong rental yields of 4.5% in the area, providing stable income potential.
• The price-to-income ratio of 5.2 points to relative affordability for owner-occupiers, which can help underpin demand for both sales and rentals.
• The high proportion of families and professionals in the 75th and 82nd percentiles respectively creates a dependable tenant base, particularly for larger homes.

• Capital growth has changed by -2.2% over the past year, which may temper short-term returns.
• The private rented sector is in the 15th percentile, so opportunities to expand rental portfolios could be limited by low rental stock.
• The population aged 20-30 is in the 9th percentile, which could limit demand for smaller rental units or flats.

The next 12 months in Chandler's Ford are likely to see continued stability, with the market anchored by high owner-occupancy and a solid professional base. Given the annualised growth of 2.6% over the past three years, investors should expect steady but modest capital appreciation rather than rapid gains.

Rents and sale prices for typical family homes and flats — such as a £400,000 for a three-bedroom house and £1,225 for a two-bedroom flat — are likely to remain resilient, supported by demand from families and professionals. However, with the private rental sector being relatively small, investors may face competition for available properties. Overall, Chandler's Ford offers a measured, low-volatility environment for investors seeking reliable returns without the drama of more speculative markets.
