Property investment stats for Storrington, South East

• Investors can benefit from strong yields in the top-performing district, with a standout rental yield of 6.0% in RH20.
• The median asking rent for a 2-bedroom flat is £1,100, suggesting potential for steady rental income in smaller units.
• The market is offering buyers a median discount of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount), which may present value opportunities for those willing to negotiate.

• The average rental yield is only 2.9%, which is on the lower side for investors seeking strong income returns.
• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -4.8%, reflecting some downward movement in prices.
• The population is heavily weighted toward older residents, with limited representation of younger age groups, which could affect long-term rental demand.

Over the next 12 months, investors can expect a market that continues to favour buyers, given the current median discount and a relatively modest pace of sales. Rental yields are not especially high on average, but targeted investments in the top-yielding district could outperform the broader area. The area’s mature demographic and high owner-occupancy rates suggest a stable but slow-moving market, with limited pressure from younger renters or buyers.

Affordability metrics like the 7.7 ratio and 25.5% ratio remain important considerations, especially for those looking to attract tenants beyond the retiree segment. While short-term price movements have been negative, the three-year annualised growth of 1.5% indicates some resilience in values over the medium term. Investors should approach with a focus on value and tenant profile, as the fundamentals point toward steady rather than rapid gains.
