Property investment stats for Epsom, South East

• The area offers strong rental yields of 5.4%, with the top-performing postcode district achieving 5.8%, making it attractive for buy-to-let investors.
• Epsom’s high concentration of families and professionals suggests stable demand for both houses and flats, particularly larger homes and well-finished apartments.
• Liquidity is decent, with properties selling in a median of 57 days, and buyers able to negotiate a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) off asking prices.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -1.3%, so investors looking for short-term appreciation may need to be cautious.
• The rent-to-income ratio of 24.7% could limit further rental growth if affordability becomes stretched for tenants.
• The area has a higher-than-average proportion of private rented homes, which may mean increased competition for landlords.

Over the next year, I expect Epsom to remain attractive to families and professionals, given its strong employment and education profile. The property market should continue to see reasonable liquidity, with homes selling in a median of 57 days, and the ability to negotiate on price will appeal to value-focused buyers.

Rental yields are likely to stay firm at 5.4%, but rapid rental growth may be capped by the current rent-to-income ratio of 24.7%. While short-term capital growth has changed by -1.3%, the three-year annualised figure of 1.5% suggests a more stable medium-term outlook. Overall, the fundamentals look solid for investors prioritising income and steady demand, even if spectacular capital gains are less likely in the immediate future.
