Property investment stats for Hawkinge, South East

• The strong presence of families (in the 90th percentile for Britain) and owner-occupiers (in the 79th percentile) means stable, long-term demand for family homes.
• The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £380,000, while the median asking rent for the same is £1,350, which could appeal to investors seeking steady rental income.
• With a rental yield of 3.9% and the top postcode district offering 3.8%, rental returns are consistent if not headline-grabbing.

• The capital growth over 1 year of -3.6% indicates recent price changes that may concern investors looking for short-term gains.
• The market is not especially liquid, with annual sales at 119 and properties taking an average of 61 days to sell.
• The area has a relatively low proportion of young adults and private renters, which could limit appeal for investors targeting those groups.

Hawkinge’s outlook for the next 12 months appears steady, with the annualised growth over 3 years at 2.7% and overall 3-year capital growth of 8.3%. The market is driven by families and owner-occupiers, so sharp swings in demand or price are unlikely. Affordability remains reasonable compared to much of the South East, especially for those looking to buy rather than rent.

While rental yields are modest, the consistent demand from families should support occupancy rates. Investors should not expect rapid price rises, but for those seeking stability and a safe pair of hands, Hawkinge continues to deliver.
