Rhyl has seen a mix of fortunes for property investors over recent years.

However, zooming out, three-year capital growth stands at 16.2%, giving an annualised figure of 5.1%. Affordability looks favourable, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.1 and a median price per square foot of £199 per sq ft.

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.
