Property investment stats for Somerton, South West

• Investors can take advantage of the £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) discount, which indicates there is room to negotiate on price.
• The top postcode district offers rental yields of 3.2%, providing a potential income stream for buy-to-let investors.
• With the median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house at £325,000 and the corresponding rent at £1,400, there is a clear benchmark for returns and affordability.

• The annual capital growth has changed by -8.8% over the last year, which may concern those seeking short-term appreciation.
• Liquidity could be an issue, as properties typically spend 83 days on the market before selling.
• The private rental sector is small (in the 16th percentile), which may limit tenant demand and rental growth.

Looking ahead, Somerton’s property market appears stable, underpinned by a high proportion of owner-occupiers and a predominantly older population (in the 93rd percentile for residents aged 60 and over). While short-term capital growth has seen some change, the three-year trend and annualised growth suggest a more balanced long-term picture. The market is unlikely to see rapid transformation, but its affordability and steady sales volumes offer a degree of predictability.

Rental yields in the top postcode district remain modest at 3.2%, and the low turnover means that investors can expect a slower pace compared to busier urban markets. For those seeking a steady, slow-burn investment rather than quick wins, Somerton’s outlook remains quietly reassuring.
