Property investment stats for Seaford, South East

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.8%, which are particularly attractive for the South East.
• The most lucrative postcode district offers a rental yield of 5.8%, giving landlords a clear target area for maximising returns.
• A relatively high number of annual sales (351) and properties spending an average of 80 days on the market suggest reasonable liquidity for those looking to buy or sell.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -6.3%, indicating recent price softness that could concern short-term investors.
• The population skews heavily older, with very few families or young adults, potentially limiting long-term rental demand growth.
• Owner-occupation is high (84th percentile), so the private rented sector is less dominant than in many other markets.

Over the next 12 months, investors should expect a market driven more by stability than by rapid growth. The three-year capital growth stands at 3.2%, with an annualised figure of 1.1%, so any price gains are likely to be steady rather than spectacular. Rental demand should remain reliable, thanks to the area’s appeal among older tenants and single occupiers, but do not expect a surge in younger renters or families.

With median asking prices for a three-bedroom house at £400,000 and rents at £1,650, affordability will continue to play a role in shaping the market. Investors who prioritise yield over capital growth will find Seaford’s profile appealing, especially given the strong rental yields of 5.8%. Caution is warranted, but for those with a long-term perspective, the outlook is quietly optimistic.
