Property investment stats for Havant, South East

• Rental yields are attractive, particularly with an average of 6.1% and the top-performing district at 5.9%.
• The median price per square foot of £304 per sq ft and the price-to-income ratio of 5.6 point to good affordability for buyers and renters alike.
• A strong family presence and a relatively high number of annual sales (449) suggest stable demand for both homes to buy and to let.

• Capital growth in the past year has changed by -5.4%, which may concern those focused on short-term appreciation.
• The degree-educated and professional population is in the lower percentiles (respectively 13th and 18th), which could limit the pace of future price growth.
• The high proportion of social rented housing (91st percentile) may influence the mix of demand and local market dynamics.

The next 12 months in Havant look set to be shaped by affordability and steady rental demand, with median asking prices for a three-bedroom house at £390,000 and for a two-bedroom flat at £210,000. Rental demand is likely to remain resilient, supported by a median asking rent of £1,500 for family homes and £1,162 for smaller flats.

Liquidity remains reasonable, with homes typically selling in 55 days, and the modest median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers have some room to negotiate. Investors with a long-term outlook may find value, especially given the 1.1% annualised growth over three years. Havant’s market is unlikely to see dramatic changes in the coming year, but the combination of decent yields and affordability offers a solid base for steady returns.
