Should you invest in Keynsham?

Opportunities

  • Strong rental yields of 5.8% provide steady income potential for landlords, with the top postcode district matching this figure at 5.8%.
  • Homes are selling in an average of 48 days, which supports good liquidity for those looking to buy and sell without long delays.
  • The area’s three-year capital growth of 9.0% shows resilience over the medium term, even if the most recent year saw a change by -3.0%.

Risks

  • Capital values have changed by -3.0% over the past year, so investors should be prepared for possible short-term price fluctuations.
  • The private rented sector is in the 17th percentile, which means rental supply is limited and could constrain portfolio expansion.
  • Median discounts of £2,750 (the typical achieved discount) on sales suggest buyers may need to negotiate carefully to secure value.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Keynsham’s mix of strong yields and a settled owner-occupier base in the 69th percentile suggests continued stability in the local market. The area’s three-year annualised growth of 2.9% is a sign that, despite recent changes, capital values have held up well over time.

With asking prices for a three-bedroom house at £390,000 and rents at £1,500, and two-bedroom flats at £280,000 and £1,150 respectively, affordability remains accessible for a wide range of buyers and renters. The relatively quick sales cycle and low unemployment percentile (11th) also support a positive market outlook. While short-term price changes may continue, the fundamentals here look reassuring for the next twelve months.
