Should you invest in Llantwit Major?

Opportunities

  • The three-year capital growth of 12.5% and annualised growth of 4.0% suggest that Llantwit Major has delivered respectable returns for patient investors.
  • Homes are selling in 41 days, indicating reasonable liquidity for those looking to enter or exit the market.
  • The moderate price-to-income ratio of 5.9 means buyers may find properties here comparatively accessible relative to more expensive urban centres.

Risks

  • The one-year capital growth of -4.0% signals that prices have recently changed, highlighting sensitivity to wider market shifts.
  • With only 58 sales annually, the local market is relatively small, which could impact liquidity for larger investors or those needing quick exits.
  • A high proportion of owner-occupiers (in the 80th percentile) may limit rental demand, with private rented housing sitting in the 30th percentile.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Llantwit Major's property market seems likely to remain stable, buoyed by its appeal to older buyers and a strong owner-occupier base. The recent three-year capital growth of 12.5% and annualised growth of 4.0% provide some confidence for investors with a medium-term mindset. However, the change in prices over the past year (-4.0%) suggests that short-term gains are not guaranteed.

Given the area's older demographic (in the 91st percentile for residents aged 60 and over), future demand may be shaped more by retirees and downsizers than by young families or professionals. Investors should expect steady, rather than spectacular, performance, with affordability and moderate liquidity as the main draws.
