Property investment stats for Churchdown, South West

• Rental yields are attractive, with an area-wide average of 5.4% and the top postcode district yielding 5.2%.
• The price-to-income ratio of 5.1 and rent-to-income ratio of 22.6% both suggest affordability for buyers and tenants alike, which should help support demand.
• Achievable discounts, as shown by the £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking prices, offer investors a chance to negotiate better deals.

• Capital growth has changed by 0.7% over the past year, which may not excite those seeking rapid appreciation.
• With properties spending around 51 days on the market, investors should be prepared for sales to take a moderate amount of time.
• The market is balanced, so investors shouldn’t expect extreme swings in either direction — returns are likely to be steady rather than spectacular.

The next twelve months in Churchdown look steady, rather than spectacular. Given the 5.4% and the manageable price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios, I expect demand from both buyers and renters to remain resilient. The market’s liquidity, with properties spending about 51 days on the market, should continue to provide decent opportunities for those willing to be patient.

With capital growth changing by 0.7% in the last year and an annualised three-year growth of 2.6%, this is not a boom-and-bust environment. Instead, Churchdown offers a grounded, sustainable investment story — one that should appeal to investors who value stability and reliable returns over chasing the next big thing.
