Property investment stats for Connah's Quay, Wales

• The rental market is underpinned by strong yields of 5.0%, with even higher returns of 5.6% in the top-performing postcode district.
• Affordability is a clear advantage, with the median sale price for a three-bedroom house at £230,000 and two-bedroom flats at £70,000, making it accessible for first-time buyers and investors alike.
• The family-heavy population (87th percentile) provides a stable base for longer-term tenancies and lower turnover.

• Capital growth has been modest, with a 1-year growth of -2.9% and an annualised 3-year rate of 1.7%, so investors shouldn't expect rapid appreciation.
• The area has a relatively low proportion of professionals and managers (7th percentile), which may limit demand for higher-end rentals.
• The private rented sector is in the 19th percentile, so while yields are strong, the overall tenant pool is smaller than in more urbanised markets.

Connah's Quay is likely to remain a steady, income-focused market over the next year. The annual sales figure of 170 and the short median days on market of 43 days point to ongoing liquidity and stable demand. With affordability remaining strong (price-to-income ratio of 3.8), local buyers and families will likely continue to underpin the market.

While capital growth has only changed modestly over the past year (-2.9%), the area is unlikely to see dramatic swings in either direction. Investors can expect reliable returns from rental income, especially given the strong rental yields of 5.0%, but should not expect explosive price rises. The market's fundamentals suggest it will continue to provide a low-drama environment for steady, long-term investing.
