Property investment stats for Kingsteignton, South West

• The area’s top postcode district offers a higher rental yield of 4.9%, which may appeal to yield-focused investors.
• Families and couples are strongly represented, with both groups above the national median, supporting steady demand for larger homes.
• The price-to-income ratio of 5.5 and rent-to-income ratio of 22.2% point to a market that is more accessible for both buyers and renters than many parts of the South West.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -2.5%, signalling short-term volatility or cooling in prices.
• The owner-occupier bias may limit the size of the private rental sector, with private rented housing only in the 43rd percentile nationally.
• The population skews older (72nd percentile for over-60s), which could slow future growth in tenant and buyer demand from younger cohorts.

The three-year capital growth stands at 13.7%, with an annualised rate of 4.4%, indicating that the longer-term trend has been positive, even if the last year has seen prices change by -2.5%. Rental yields remain steady at 3.9%, and the discount to asking price of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers have some negotiating power.

Given the area’s demographic profile, I expect demand for family homes to remain resilient, though the older population could eventually temper activity. Liquidity should hold up, with properties currently selling in a median of 71 days. The next 12 months may see modest growth at best, but Kingsteignton’s combination of affordability and stable rental yields should help underpin values.
