Should you invest in Shotton?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong rental yields of 4.6%, with the top-performing postcode district achieving 5.6%.
  • Investors benefit from robust recent growth, as shown by 1-year capital growth of 9.2% and annualised 3-year growth of 6.8%.
  • Entry prices are accessible, with the current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £195,000 and a 2-bedroom flat at £90,000.

Risks

  • The proportion of professionals and managers is in the 1st percentile, suggesting limited demand from higher-earning tenants or buyers.
  • The degree-educated population is also low, in the 3rd percentile, which may affect long-term demand trends.
  • Social rented housing is in the 89th percentile, indicating a market where private rental demand could be more volatile.

Outlook

Property values have shown resilience, with capital growth over 3 years at 22.0% and a 1-year growth rate of 9.2%. Liquidity is decent, as homes are typically sold within 30 days and annual sales remain steady at 62. Rental yields are attractive for the region, and the affordability metrics suggest room for future demand, especially among first-time buyers and investors.

Given these fundamentals, Shotton looks set to remain a solid option for investors who value stability and predictable returns. However, the demographic profile and high proportion of social housing may limit the pace of future growth, so expectations should be balanced.
