A complete guide to property investment in Haverfordwest.

Last updated: 10 January 2026

Investment summary

Haverfordwest sits in a part of Wales where affordability is still accessible, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.4 and median price per square foot at £198 per sq ft. The area’s property market is not especially fast-paced, with homes spending a median of 77 days on the market and a median discount to asking price of £2,000 (the typical achieved discount). The local rental market leans towards the pragmatic, with a median rent-to-income ratio of 19.0% and a private rented housing percentile of 72 — above average for Britain. Owner-occupation is relatively low, and the single occupier household percentile is unusually high, which shapes demand dynamics.

Should you invest in Haverfordwest?

Opportunities

  • The affordable median asking price for a 2-bedroom flat at N/A could appeal to investors seeking lower entry costs.
  • Strong rental demand is suggested by the private rented housing percentile of 72, and the median rent for a 3-bedroom house at £1,100 remains accessible for local tenants.
  • The top postcode district for rental yield offers 3.5%, which is consistent with the area average, providing stable if unspectacular returns.

Risks

  • The 1-year capital growth of -4.4% signals some volatility or cooling in the short term.
  • Owner-occupation is low and social renting is high, which could limit the pool of buyers for resale and influence exit strategies.
  • The area’s professional and managerial workforce percentile is just 14, suggesting limited upward pressure on prices from higher earners.

Outlook

Short-term capital appreciation looks subdued given the 1-year capital growth of -4.4%, though the 3-year growth of 13.5% suggests there is still capacity for longer-term gains. Liquidity should remain steady, with homes taking a median of 77 days to sell and annual sales at 151.

Affordability metrics such as the price-to-income ratio of 4.4 and median rent-to-income ratio of 19.0% should continue to underpin demand from renters and first-time buyers. Investors can expect stable, if modest, yields and a tenant base shaped by the area’s high single occupier and private renting rates. Haverfordwest is unlikely to deliver rapid returns, but it offers steady fundamentals for those looking for resilience rather than excitement.
