Should you invest in Davenham?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district offers robust rental yields of 5.3%, which may appeal to investors seeking higher returns within the area.
  • The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £300,000, making entry into the family home market relatively straightforward compared to more expensive regions.
  • A high proportion of couples and families (in the 89th and 80th percentiles, respectively) signals continued demand for larger homes and stability in the local housing market.

Risks

  • The average rental yield of 3.3% is on the modest side, which could limit income-focused strategies.
  • With private rented housing only in the 12th percentile, there is limited depth in the rental market, potentially restricting tenant choice and liquidity for investors.
  • The population aged 20-30 is in the 16th percentile, so demand from young renters is likely to be low.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Davenham's housing market is well-placed for steady performance. The area has seen capital growth of 3.4% over the past year and 13.4% over three years, showing a reliable upward trend. The median price per square foot of £296 per sq ft and a rent-to-income ratio of 17.7% suggest affordability remains reasonable for both buyers and tenants.

With annual sales at 216 and properties spending only 32 days on the market, liquidity is healthy. Investors should expect gradual, sustainable growth rather than dramatic spikes, making Davenham a solid choice for those seeking stability and long-term value rather than quick wins.
