Property investment stats for Denmead, South East

A complete guide to property investment in Denmead.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Denmead sits firmly in the upper range for owner-occupation, with a strong presence of couples and a notably older population profile. The area’s housing market has shown steady progress, with capital growth over 1 year of 2.9% and an impressive 3-year growth of 17.7%, reflecting consistent demand. While the average rental yield of 3.7% is modest, certain pockets offer more attractive figures, such as the top-performing postcode district with rental yields of 5.4%. Prices are comparatively high, with a median price per square foot of £415 per sq ft, but affordability remains reasonable thanks to a price-to-income ratio of 6.1.

Sales liquidity is moderate, with homes taking around 90 days to sell and a total of 77 transactions annually. Buyers typically secure a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), suggesting some room for negotiation but not a sluggish market.

Should you invest in Denmead?

Opportunities

  • Investors can find enhanced returns in specific districts, as shown by top postcode district rental yields of 5.4%, which outpace the area average.
  • The area’s strong 3-year capital growth of 17.7% points to solid long-term appreciation potential.
  • With a high proportion of owner-occupiers and couples, well-presented family homes are likely to see steady demand.

Risks

  • The private rented sector is limited, with a presence in just the 7th percentile, so rental demand may not be as deep as in more urbanised areas.
  • The older population profile (83rd percentile for over-60s) could mean slower turnover and less appeal for younger tenants or buyers.
  • Days on market at 90 days indicate moderate liquidity, which could affect exit speed for investors needing quick sales.

Outlook

The outlook for Denmead remains quietly positive, underpinned by annualised 3-year growth of 5.6% and steady demand from established owner-occupiers and couples. Asking prices for key property types, such as £395,000 for a three-bedroom house and £190,000 for a two-bedroom flat, reflect a market that values quality and stability.

Rental demand is present but concentrated, as shown by the median rent for a 3-bedroom house at £1,650 and a 2-bedroom flat at £1,250; however, the limited size of the private rented sector means growth may be measured. Investors should expect reliable, if unspectacular, performance, especially if focusing on family homes or targeting the higher-yielding districts. Overall, Denmead offers a stable, low-volatility environment with modest upside for those with a long-term perspective.
