Property investment stats for Liphook, South East

• The area has posted capital growth of 2.0% over the past year and total capital growth of 10.1% over three years, offering some reassurance on asset appreciation.
• Achievable discounts at sale, with a median achieved price £9,950 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, may allow investors to negotiate better entry points.
• The local workforce is relatively affluent, with a high proportion of professionals and managers (in the 72nd percentile nationally), which can support demand for quality property.

• Rental yields are modest, with an average of 3.6%, and even the top local postcode district only reaches 3.2%.

Liphook is likely to remain a steady performer rather than a hotspot for rapid gains. Given the capital growth of 2.0% over the last year and the annualised growth rate of 3.3% over three years, there is evidence of consistent, if unspectacular, appreciation.

Affordability pressures are present but not extreme, with a price-to-income ratio of 7.1 and a rent-to-income ratio of 23.5%. Investors should expect moderate liquidity, with 127 transactions a year and properties typically spending 73 days on the market. In short, the area offers a calm, low-risk environment for investors willing to accept moderate returns and a slower pace.
