Property investment stats for Henfield, South East

• The top postcode district offers rental yields of 3.2%, which, while not outstanding, provide a reliable option for those seeking steady income.
• A median discount of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers have room to negotiate.
• Properties spend around 65 days on the market, so patient investors may find motivated sellers and value opportunities.

• The private rented housing percentile is just 13, indicating a limited rental pool and potentially sluggish tenant demand.
• With the population aged 60+ in the 92nd percentile, demand may be more weighted to downsizers than young professionals or families.
• Annual sales are just 79, so liquidity is relatively low and selling quickly could be a challenge.

Looking ahead, Henfield's property market appears set for more of the same steady performance. The past three years of capital growth, at 12.6% in total and an annualised rate of 4.0%, give confidence that slow and steady wins the race here. Median asking prices for three-bedroom houses (£565,000) and two-bedroom flats (£299,950) remain firm, with rents at £1,700 and £1,250 supporting the case for buy-to-let, albeit with modest yields.

Liquidity may continue to be a sticking point, given 79 transactions per year and properties taking 65 days to sell. Investors should expect a mature, slow-moving market that rewards patience and careful negotiation rather than quick flips or speculative plays.
