Property investment stats for Reigate, South East

• Rental yields are attractive, with the area offering 5.9% and the top postcode district yielding 5.8%.
• Capital growth has been steady, with values changing by 4.5% over the past year and 10.3% over three years.
• The high proportion of families and professionals (both in the 90th percentile) supports ongoing demand for quality homes.

• The price-to-income ratio of 6.7 means affordability is a challenge for some buyers, potentially limiting future price growth.
• Properties are selling with a median discount of £8,000 (the typical achieved discount), indicating buyers have some negotiating power.
• The area’s lower proportion of young adults (20-30s in the 15th percentile) could limit demand for smaller or entry-level rentals.

Looking ahead, Reigate’s fundamentals suggest the market will remain attractive to investors focused on families and professionals. Rental yields of 5.9% should continue to appeal, especially given the stable demand from high earners and a sizeable family population. The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £650,000, while a 2-bedroom flat is listed at £340,000; rental demand is underpinned by median rents of £2,300 for houses and £1,650 for flats.

While buyers have some room to negotiate, as shown by the £8,000 (the typical achieved discount) discount, the area’s blend of professional households and solid capital growth at 4.5% over the last year gives cause for optimism. Liquidity remains reasonable, with homes spending a median of 68 days on the market. Barring a sharp change in affordability or employment, Reigate should continue to offer steady returns for patient investors.
