Property investment stats for Corfe Mullen, South West

• The top local postcode district offers rental yields of 4.3%, which could appeal to investors seeking income rather than rapid capital growth.
• There is a healthy level of liquidity, with 104 annual sales and properties typically selling in 59 days.
• The local market tends to offer a median discount of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount), allowing buyers some room for negotiation.

• Capital growth has been muted, with a one-year change of -0.2% and a three-year annualised growth of 0.7%.
• The private rented sector is small, in the 9th percentile nationally, which may limit tenant demand and rental market depth.
• The population is older, with those aged 60+ in the 86th percentile, so future demand could be shaped by demographic shifts rather than inward migration or a young workforce.

Looking ahead, investors should not expect rapid price appreciation given the recent capital growth of -0.2% and a three-year annualised rate of 0.7%. The market is stable, with properties selling at a median discount of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount) and a typical time on market of 59 days, so there is no sign of distress or overheating.

Yields in the top postcode district are 4.3%, which is respectable for the region, but the small size of the private rented sector means rental investors should be selective. Affordability, as measured by a price-to-income ratio of 6.1, is tight but not alarming. In short, Corfe Mullen offers steady prospects for those who value stability and the long-term fundamentals of an owner-occupied market.
