The area has seen steady price growth, with capital growth over 1 year at 2.3% and three-year growth at 7.8%.

Steady growth looks likely to continue in Farncombe, given the annualised three-year growth rate of 2.5% and ongoing demand from families and professionals. The area’s median sale and rent prices for three-bedroom houses and two-bedroom flats (£600,000, £2,500, £300,000, £1,495) are likely to remain attractive for both investors and tenants, though affordability will remain a key issue.
Rental yields are expected to hold firm, especially in the top-performing postcode district with 5.4% yield. Liquidity should remain healthy, with properties continuing to move relatively quickly compared to other parts of the country. Investors should expect steady rather than spectacular returns, but the fundamentals remain strong for those seeking a stable, long-term investment.
