Sevenoaks stands out for its high proportion of families and professionals, with the area sitting in the 92nd and 95th percentiles respectively for these groups. The market is shaped by a strong owner-occupier presence and a relatively balanced mix of private rentals. Median prices reflect the area’s desirability, with the median price per square foot at £584 per sq ft and the current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £595,000. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending a median of 69 days on the market and annual sales at 331.

The next year in Sevenoaks looks steady rather than spectacular. With 1-year capital growth of 1.7% and a three-year annualised growth of 1.9%, investors should expect gradual rather than rapid price moves.
Rental demand should hold firm, especially among families and professionals, given the area’s demographic profile and strong rental yields of 4.6%. That said, affordability constraints and only moderate sales volumes could keep a lid on price momentum. Sevenoaks remains a solid choice for investors seeking stability and reliable rental income, but those chasing fast capital gains may want to temper their expectations.
