Should you invest in Dursley?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields, with the average at 4.3% and the top postcode district yielding 4.6%.
  • The median sale price for a 2-bedroom flat is £155,000, which may appeal to buyers looking for lower entry points.
  • Families are well represented in the area, sitting in the 63rd percentile, which could support ongoing demand for larger homes such as 3-bedroom houses with a median asking price of £339,950.

Risks

  • The most recent capital growth over one year has changed by -3.1%, so short-term price movement may be less predictable.
  • The private rented sector is in the 31st percentile, so rental demand may be more limited than in some other markets.
  • Properties are selling with a median discount of £3,500 (the typical achieved discount), which suggests buyers may expect to negotiate on price.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the combination of affordability and steady demand should keep Dursley attractive for both investors and homebuyers. The longer-term capital growth figures, with 14.3% over three years and annualised growth of 4.5%, signal resilience even as short-term price changes fluctuate.

Rental yields remain solid at 4.3%, and the area’s strong family presence suggests ongoing demand for larger homes. Buyers can expect homes to spend around 64 days on the market, which is a reasonable timeframe for this type of area. Overall, Dursley’s property market looks set for steady performance over the next year, with opportunities for both income and growth.
