Property investment stats for Henley-on-Thames, South East

• Rental yields are stable at 4.0%, with the top performing postcode district offering yields of 4.0%.
• Properties are typically on the market for 61 days, indicating reasonable liquidity for sellers and buyers alike.
• The area boasts a high proportion of degree-educated residents (in the 88th percentile) and professionals and managers (in the 91st percentile), supporting ongoing demand for quality homes.

• The price-to-income ratio stands at 9.8, which may limit affordability for some buyers and could constrain future price growth.
• The rent-to-income ratio at 29.5% suggests rents are relatively high compared to local incomes, which could affect tenant turnover or limit further rental increases.
• The market is not especially driven by younger age groups, with the population aged 20-30 and 30-40 both in the lower percentiles, which may temper long-term rental growth.

Looking ahead, Henley-on-Thames appears set for continued steady performance rather than dramatic gains. The mix of high educational attainment and a large professional population should underpin both owner-occupier and rental demand. However, the relatively high price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios may put a ceiling on how far prices and rents can rise in the short term.

Liquidity remains reasonable, with annual sales at 208 and properties typically selling with a median discount of £15,000 (the typical achieved discount). Investors can expect stable conditions, but should be realistic about the pace of future growth given the area's mature demographic profile and established pricing.
