Should you invest in Morden?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.5%, with the top-performing postcode district offering yields of 5.4%.
  • The steady annualised growth over three years of 3.1% suggests stable long-term prospects for capital appreciation.
  • The area’s high family population and relatively high proportion of private renters (59th percentile) underpin ongoing demand for both houses and flats.

Risks

  • The price-to-income ratio of 7.2 may limit future price growth if affordability becomes stretched, especially for first-time buyers.
  • The market is dominated by families, so demand may be more sensitive to changes in schools or local amenities than in areas with a younger or more transient population.
  • The achieved price is typically at asking price (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), suggesting little room for negotiation or quick bargains.

Outlook

Morden’s property market is positioned for steady performance over the next 12 months. The area’s strong family appeal and healthy mix of owner-occupied and private rental homes should support both sales and lettings activity.

With a median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £570,000 and a 2-bedroom flat at £327,500, the market remains accessible for investors seeking London stability without the most extreme price tags. Rental demand should remain robust, given the high family population and median asking rents of £2,400 for a 3-bedroom house and £1,700 for a 2-bedroom flat. Investors can expect moderate capital growth and reliable rental returns, though any sharp shifts in affordability or local demographics could influence momentum.
