Property investment stats for Pembury, South East

• The top postcode district offers rental yields of 5.1%, which is a solid return for this part of the South East.
• The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £500,000, and the median rent for the same size property is £2,795, offering scope for attractive rental income.
• The area has a high proportion of professionals and managers in the population, in the 75th percentile, which can support demand for quality rental and sale properties.

• The private rented sector is in the 10th percentile, so there may be limited tenant demand compared to more rental-heavy markets.
• Properties spend an average of 73 days on the market, which could mean slower liquidity if you need to sell quickly.
• The population aged 20-30 is in the 10th percentile, so demand from younger renters is likely to be weak.

Looking ahead, Pembury appears set to continue its steady, family-oriented appeal. The high share of owner-occupiers and families, coupled with a relatively low unemployment rate, should help underpin demand for houses, especially those with three bedrooms. The rental market is unlikely to see rapid growth, given the small proportion of private renters and the older age profile of the population.

That said, for investors seeking stability rather than quick wins, this area offers a reassuring environment. The presence of professionals and managers in the 75th percentile provides a solid base for both sales and lettings, particularly at the higher end of the market. As long as expectations are set for gradual rather than dramatic change, Pembury should remain a reliable, if unspectacular, choice.
