Property investment stats for Dinas Powis, Wales

• Investors can achieve strong rental yields of 5.3% in the top-performing local postcode district.
• The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,800, which compares attractively to the median sale price of £374,750.
• The area has a high proportion of degree-educated residents, in the 69th percentile, and a strong presence of professionals and managers, in the 71st percentile, which helps support long-term demand.

• The private rented sector is tiny, sitting in the 2nd percentile nationally, so finding tenants may not be as straightforward as in more rental-heavy markets.

• The population is older than average, with those aged 60 and over in the 86th percentile, which could affect future supply and demand dynamics.

The outlook for Dinas Powis is steady rather than spectacular. The area’s owner-occupier dominance and high proportion of professionals and degree-educated residents suggest a stable base for prices, but the very low private rented sector means buy-to-let investors will need to be selective and patient.

Asking prices for both sales and rents are relatively strong, with a median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house of £374,750 and a median asking rent for the same at £1,800. Properties are selling with a median discount of £8,500 (the typical achieved discount), which indicates some room for negotiation but not a distressed market. Investors should expect slow but steady progress, with little sign of dramatic shifts in supply or demand ahead.
