Property investment stats for Kidlington, South East

• Investors can expect strong rental yields of 4.9%, with the top-performing district delivering up to 5.0%.
• The relatively quick sales cycle and zero median discount indicate healthy demand and liquidity.
• With a high proportion of private renters and a rent-to-income ratio of 23.0%, the rental market shows resilience and potential for stable returns.

• Capital growth has been modest, with a 1-year growth of 2.0% and annualised 3-year growth of 0.9%, so investors banking on rapid appreciation may need patience.
• The area has a large older population, which could influence future demand dynamics and slow long-term turnover.
• The student and family segments are both below average, limiting the diversity of tenant demand.

Over the next 12 months, Kidlington is likely to see continued stability in both sales and rentals. Demand remains solid, as shown by properties selling at asking price and a typical time on market of 61 days. Rental yields should remain attractive, especially in the top performing district, and affordability metrics suggest the area is not overheated.

However, given the modest capital growth of 2.0% over the past year, investors should not expect rapid price appreciation. Instead, the appeal lies in steady income and a relatively liquid market. The demographic tilt towards older residents and couples suggests ongoing stability, rather than dramatic change.
