A complete guide to property investment in Hungerford.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Hungerford sits in the South East and offers a balanced property market with a moderate price-to-income ratio of 5.8, which suggests reasonable affordability compared to many other commuter towns. The market has seen capital growth change by -2.6% over the past year, but over three years, the area has posted a total growth of 6.2%, equating to an annualised rate of 2.0%. Median prices per square foot stand at £395 per sq ft, which reflects the area's position as a desirable but not excessively expensive location. Properties tend to linger on the market for about 63 days, indicating a steady — if not brisk — level of liquidity.
Rental demand is underpinned by a high proportion of private renters (in the 75th percentile), while the area’s older demographic and dominance of couples’ households (both in the top decile nationally) shape the local housing mix.

Looking ahead over the next 12 months, Hungerford’s property market is likely to remain stable, with the area’s demographic makeup (older residents and couples) helping to underpin consistent demand. The moderate price-to-income ratio of 5.8 should continue to support affordability, provided there are no significant shifts in local employment or lending conditions.
Rental yields in the leading postcode district are currently 3.5%, which, while not high, are supported by a robust private rented sector. Investors should expect steady but unspectacular performance, with capital values likely to follow the recent three-year trend of 2.0% annualised growth rather than any dramatic swings. Liquidity is unlikely to change much, so patience may be required on both entry and exit.
