Property investment stats for Gosport, South East

• Investors can benefit from strong average rental yields of 6.5%, with the top local postcode district offering yields up to 6.7%.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.9 means properties are more accessible to local buyers, which could support demand and underpin values.
• With a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) on sales, there is potential for investors to negotiate favourable purchase prices.

• The 1-year capital growth is -0.2%, which shows limited recent price momentum and may signal a period of stagnation.
• The local population has a relatively low proportion of degree-educated residents and professionals (both in the 18th percentile), which could limit future demand from higher-income tenants or buyers.
• The area is not a major student hub, with a student population percentile of 30, so investors should not count on student demand to drive the rental market.

Looking ahead, Gosport is likely to remain a steady if unspectacular market. The three-year capital growth of 10.2% (annualised at 3.3%) suggests that while short-term price changes have been minimal, the longer-term trend has been positive. Affordability, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.9, should help support demand from both buyers and renters.

Rental yields remain attractive, and with properties typically spending 59 days on the market, investors should be able to achieve reasonable liquidity. The market may not suit those looking for rapid growth or a dynamic, high-turnover tenant base, but it offers reliable fundamentals for those seeking income and stability.
