Property investment stats for Ewell, South East

A complete guide to property investment in Ewell.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Ewell is a family-centric spot, with a high proportion of owner-occupied homes and families compared to most places in Britain. Houses here do not linger long on the market, with properties typically selling after just 52 days. The local market has seen some ups and downs, with a capital growth over the past year of -4.0%, but over three years, there's been a total capital growth of 5.1% and an annualised rate of 1.7%. Affordability is a mixed bag: the price-to-income ratio of 6.6 is fairly typical for the South East, while the rent-to-income ratio of 28.0% means renting can feel a little tight for some households.

Rental yields are not the highest in the region, but a 4.8% average is solid, and there's a standout postcode with a yield of 6.3%. The achieved price is typically a £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, giving buyers a bit of room to negotiate.

Should you invest in Ewell?

Opportunities

  • The top-performing postcode district offers an attractive rental yield of 6.3%, which outpaces the area average.
  • Family demand is strong, with the area in the 95th percentile for families and 91st percentile for owner-occupation, supporting stable long-term tenancies or resale.
  • Properties are selling in a brisk 52 days, indicating solid liquidity for those looking to enter or exit the market efficiently.

Risks

  • Capital growth over the past year has changed by -4.0%, so investors should be mindful of short-term volatility.
  • The rent-to-income ratio of 28.0% suggests affordability could be stretched for renters, potentially limiting rental growth.
  • With a low proportion of private rented housing (18th percentile), the tenant pool may be narrower than in more rental-heavy areas.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Ewell's fundamentals seem steady, with families and owner-occupiers dominating the landscape and keeping demand resilient. The market's three-year capital growth of 5.1% and annualised rate of 1.7% suggest long-term value, even if the past year has seen some change. Rental yields, while not headline-grabbing, offer a consistent return, especially in the top-performing postcode district.

Liquidity should remain healthy, with properties typically selling in 52 days and buyers able to negotiate on price. Affordability may continue to be a challenge for renters, but the area's stability and family appeal should help underpin both sales and rental demand over the next year.
