Should you invest in Rhyl?

Opportunities

  • Rental yields in the top performing postcode district reach 6.0%, which is attractive for buy-to-let investors.
  • The current median asking price for a 2-bedroom flat is £98,000, making entry costs relatively low compared to many other areas.
  • The price-to-income ratio of 4.1 signals a more accessible market for both investors and potential tenants, supporting sustained demand.

Risks

  • One-year capital growth has changed by -3.0%, so short-term price performance has not been strong.
  • The area has an unemployment rate in the 86th percentile, which could affect tenant stability and long-term growth.
  • The degree-educated and professional population are both in the lower percentiles, limiting the pool for higher-end rentals or sales.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Rhyl's affordability and reasonable yields should continue to draw interest from investors who prioritise income over rapid capital appreciation. The relatively high proportion of private renters and single occupier households suggests that demand for smaller, more affordable properties could remain steady.

Short-term price performance has been muted, but the longer-term growth over three years at 16.2% indicates there is some resilience in the market. The area will likely remain more attractive to value-focused investors than those chasing premium tenants or rapid price gains.

Liquidity appears fair, with properties spending 49 days on the market and buyers able to negotiate a median discount of £4,950 (the typical achieved discount). Overall, the outlook is stable but unspectacular; steady rental income is the main draw here.
