Should you invest in Felixstowe?

Opportunities

  • Rental investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.4%, with the top local postcode district offering yields of 5.3%.
  • The median achieved price sits £6,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, giving buyers some negotiation power.
  • The current median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,200, while the median asking sale price is £350,000, presenting a balanced entry point for both landlords and buyers.

Risks

  • Recent performance shows capital growth over 1 year changed by -2.0%, so investors should be cautious about short-term appreciation.
  • The area has a low proportion of families and younger adults, which could limit demand for larger homes or student lets.
  • The market is dominated by older residents and single occupiers, so void periods may be longer for properties not suited to these groups.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Felixstowe is likely to see stable rental demand, particularly for smaller homes and flats, given the high proportion of single-occupier and older households. The annualised growth over three years stands at 2.9% and the three-year capital growth is 9.0%, which points to moderate long-term performance even if short-term growth has been subdued.

With current asking rents for two-bedroom flats at £1,075 and median asking prices at £247,498, the affordability balance should appeal to both investors and tenants. The market is unlikely to see rapid changes in demand or supply, but the steady sales pace and moderate discounts suggest it remains a relatively liquid environment for investors who price realistically.
