A complete guide to property investment in Oakdale.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Oakdale stands out for its combination of strong price growth and relative affordability. Over the past three years, capital values have changed by 20.8%, which annualises to 6.5% — a performance that should catch the eye of any investor. The current median price per square foot is £231 per sq ft, and the price-to-income ratio sits at 5.1, suggesting that homes remain accessible compared to many other parts of Britain. With annual sales at 68 and properties spending an average of 43 days on the market, liquidity appears steady without being frantic.
The area is dominated by families and owner-occupiers, with both these groups in the high percentiles nationwide. Rental supply is limited, which may help underpin rents for those seeking to invest in the private rental sector.

With families making up a large share of households and owner-occupation in the 83rd percentile, Oakdale’s property market looks set to remain stable and underpinned by local demand. The combination of 20.8% capital growth over three years and a price-to-income ratio of 5.1 means both buyers and investors can find value, without the overheating seen elsewhere.
Rental yields in the top postcode district are a highlight at 5.8%, though limited private rental supply may keep competition strong for quality homes. While the area’s professional and younger adult population is not especially high, the steady pace of sales and moderate days on market suggest a balanced environment for both buyers and sellers. Investors should expect continued resilience over the next 12 months, with no obvious signals of volatility or dramatic shifts ahead.
