Property investment stats for Chinnor, South East

• The strong owner-occupier and family demand, shown by the 94th percentile for families and 92nd percentile for couples, supports stable long-term tenancies and resale potential.
• A median discount of £5,500 (the typical achieved discount) means buyers may have room to negotiate on price.
• The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £475,000, and for a 2-bedroom flat is £280,000, offering entry points for different budgets.

• Rental yields in the top postcode district are only 3.5%, and the area is in just the 6th percentile for private rented housing, so buy-to-let opportunities are limited.
• The one-year capital growth of -7.5% suggests short-term price volatility or stagnation.
• With a single occupier household percentile of 1, demand from young professionals or singles is likely to be weak.

Looking ahead, Chinnor’s fundamentals point to stability, especially for investors targeting families and owner-occupiers. The market’s annualised growth over three years of 3.5% and a cumulative three-year change of 10.8% suggest that, despite recent price changes, the area has a track record of medium-term growth. Liquidity is reasonable, with homes taking around 64 days to sell and a median discount of £5,500 (the typical achieved discount), so buyers can expect some negotiating power.

Rental prospects remain muted, with the top rental yield at 3.5% and very low levels of private renting, so capital growth and resale should be the main focus. Investors should expect a market driven by stable owner-occupier demand rather than high rental returns or rapid turnover.
