A complete guide to property investment in Oakdale.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

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.

Should you invest in Oakdale?

Opportunities

  • The area’s 5.8% rental yield in the top postcode district is attractive for investors seeking reliable income streams.
  • The £232,000 asking price for a 3-bedroom house, paired with a £895 median rent, offers a favourable balance for buy-to-let calculations.
  • Strong family demand and high owner-occupation rates suggest stable, long-term tenants and reduced void risk.

Risks

  • The private rented sector is relatively small, with only a low percentile of homes available to let, which could limit scaling opportunities for portfolio landlords.
  • A lower proportion of professionals and younger adults may mean slower future growth in higher-end rental demand.
  • The area’s moderate liquidity, with properties taking 43 days to sell, could lengthen exit times if the market cools.

Outlook

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.
