Property investment stats for Cullompton, South West

• The top-performing postcode district in Cullompton offers rental yields of 4.7%, which is above the area average and worth a closer look for buy-to-let investors.
• Three-bedroom houses currently have a median asking price of £270,000 and command a median rent of £975, making them a potential sweet spot for family lets.
• The ongoing median discount to asking price of £4,950 (the typical achieved discount) gives buyers some room to negotiate, which could improve returns.

• The relatively low student and degree-educated population percentiles (at 18 and 16, respectively) mean the tenant base may be less transient and less likely to pay premium rents for smaller units.
• With a private rented sector in the 61st percentile, competition among landlords could put some pressure on achievable rents.
• Recent capital growth has slowed, with a 1-year figure of 0.5%, so investors banking on fast appreciation may need to temper expectations.

Looking ahead, I expect Cullompton to continue its pattern of steady but unspectacular growth. Affordability metrics such as the price-to-income ratio of 4.6 and rent-to-income ratio of 19.3% suggest the market is not overheated, which should support stability.

Liquidity remains reasonable, with properties selling in around 70 days, and the ongoing median discount of £4,950 (the typical achieved discount) could help buyers secure value. Unless there is a significant shift in local employment or demographics, I see little to disrupt the current balance between supply and demand. Investors should expect gradual capital appreciation and stable rental yields, rather than dramatic short-term gains.
