Property investment stats for Tadworth and Epsom Downs, South East

• Strong rental yields, with an average of 5.9%, provide a solid income stream for buy-to-let investors.
• The top-performing postcode district offers yields of 5.8%, making targeted investments attractive for those seeking income.
• Family demand is robust, supported by a 95th percentile ranking for families and a high owner-occupier share, which can help underpin resale values.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -1.9%, so short-term price appreciation is uncertain.
• The area is not a hub for renters, as private rented housing is in the 2nd percentile, limiting liquidity if you need to sell a buy-to-let property quickly.
• Affordability metrics such as a rent-to-income ratio of 30.5% and price-to-income ratio of 7.6 may constrain further price increases.

The outlook for Tadworth and Epsom Downs is steady rather than spectacular. Investors can expect reliable income returns given the average rental yield of 5.9%, but rapid capital growth is unlikely in the short term, as shown by the 1-year capital growth of -1.9%. Over three years, annualised growth has been a more modest 1.9%, which suggests the market is stable but not on a sharp upward trajectory.

With a high proportion of families and owner-occupiers, the area is likely to remain resilient to shocks, but it will not suit those looking for quick flips or heavy rental churn. For long-term investors prioritising income and stability, the fundamentals remain attractive. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties taking around 83 days to sell and a moderate annual sales volume of 334.
