Property investment stats for New Alresford, South East

• The three-year capital growth of 12.2% and annualised growth of 3.9% point to a reliable track record for capital appreciation.
• Rental yields, while not the highest, are steady at 3.8%, with the top postcode district offering up to 4.1%.
• The low unemployment rate (in the 11th percentile) and a high proportion of degree-educated residents (in the 78th percentile) support stable demand from affluent, settled households.

• The population is heavily skewed towards those aged 60 and above (in the 97th percentile), which may limit future rental demand from younger tenants or families.
• Affordability is a concern, with a price-to-income ratio of 7.1 and a rent-to-income ratio of 28.9%, which could constrain further price growth or rental increases.
• Annual sales volume is modest at 84, so investors may face slower liquidity if they need to exit quickly.

The outlook for New Alresford remains positive, underpinned by a strong record of capital growth and a stable, well-educated local population. While rental yields of 3.8% are not headline-grabbing, they are consistent, and the area’s top postcode district edges yields a little higher.

Affordability will remain a challenge for both buyers and renters, given the 7.1 and 28.9% ratios, but this is balanced by the area's appeal to older, wealthier owner-occupiers. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending an average of 61 days on the market, and the typical discount to asking price suggests buyers can negotiate but should not expect fire-sale bargains. Investors should expect steady rather than spectacular returns, with the area’s mature demographic likely to favour long-term stability over rapid growth.
