Over the next year, investors in Crowthorne can expect a market driven by owner-occupiers and family buyers, with limited speculative activity. The high rate of owner-occupation and low unemployment (in the 9th percentile) should underpin local stability, even if capital growth remains modest.
Rental yields of 5.1% and the consistent performance across the top postcode district point to steady, if unspectacular, returns for those focused on income. With asking prices for three-bedroom houses at £550,000 and two-bedroom flats at £277,500, affordability will remain a consideration, but the area’s demographic appeal is unlikely to shift rapidly. Investors should expect gradual, rather than dramatic, changes in both pricing and demand.
