Should you invest in Horsham?
Opportunities
- Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.5%, especially in the top-performing district.
- The market moves quickly, with properties spending just 36 days on the market on average, supporting liquidity.
- Achievable discounts, with a median of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount), create negotiation opportunities for buyers.
Risks
- Short-term capital growth has changed by -1.3%, which may concern those seeking immediate returns.
- The price-to-income ratio of 6.0 means affordability could be stretched for some buyers.
- The area has a relatively low student and young adult population, which may limit demand for certain rental segments.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Horsham's property market appears steady rather than spectacular. The annualised growth rate over three years is 2.5%, which points to gradual progress rather than sharp rises. Rental demand should remain stable, given the area's balance between owner-occupied and private rented housing.
Affordability metrics like the 22.3% and 6.0 ratios suggest the market is accessible to a broad range of buyers and renters, though not without challenges. Investors can expect reliable yields and a market with decent liquidity, but should temper expectations for rapid price growth in the coming year.
