Should you invest in Dulwich Village?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields in the top-performing postcode district of 5.4%, which outpaces the area average.
  • The dominance of families and professionals in the local demographic supports demand for high-quality houses, especially three-bedroom properties with a current median asking price of £940,000.
  • Liquidity remains reasonable, with properties spending an average of 62 days on the market, and annual sales at 85, suggesting steady turnover.

Risks

  • Affordability is stretched, with a price-to-income ratio of 15.3 and a rent-to-income ratio of 30.9%, which could limit future growth if earnings do not keep pace.
  • The achieved price is typically £13,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, indicating buyers have room to negotiate and sellers may need to adjust expectations.
  • Rental yields are moderate overall at 3.4%, which may not appeal to those seeking higher short-term returns.

Outlook

Dulwich Village’s property market looks stable over the next year, underpinned by a strong local demographic and a steady track record. The capital growth over one year is flat at 0%, but the longer-term picture is more positive, with three-year growth at 10.0%. I expect demand from families and professionals to remain robust, given the area’s appeal and the local amenities.

Liquidity should stay healthy, with properties not lingering excessively on the market. However, affordability pressures may cap price growth in the near term, so investors should focus on long-term value and the area’s proven resilience rather than expecting rapid gains.
