Looking ahead, the market in Chatteris seems set to remain steady, with affordability supported by the 4.4 ratio and a balanced private rental sector. The town's popularity with couples (in the 93rd percentile) and a notable population in their 20s and 30s could underpin ongoing demand for both rental and owner-occupied homes. Recent capital growth has been positive over three years at 18.0%, even if the most recent year saw a change by -3.1%.

With properties typically selling after 84 days, liquidity is reasonable for a town of this size. Rental investors may continue to see solid returns given the 5.1% and strong demand in the private rented sector. While there are some risks to short-term capital appreciation, the fundamentals for income-focused investors remain attractive.
