Should you invest in Teignmouth?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district offers a higher rental yield of 4.4%, which may appeal to investors seeking better returns within Teignmouth.
  • The three-year capital growth of 11.7% and an annualised growth rate of 3.8% suggest some resilience over the medium term, despite recent fluctuations.
  • The price-to-income ratio of 5.7 indicates a level of affordability that is competitive compared to more overheated markets.

Risks

  • The one-year capital growth has changed by -2.4%, which may concern those seeking short-term appreciation.
  • Properties are taking around 98 days to sell, suggesting liquidity is not especially strong and investors may need patience to exit.
  • The population skews older, with families and young adults in the lower percentiles, which could limit future demand growth from these groups.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Teignmouth’s appeal may remain strongest among retirees and older couples, given the area’s demographic profile. The rental market is supported by a private rented housing percentile in the upper third, and yields in the best-performing areas reach 4.4%. However, with capital growth over one year at -2.4%, investors should temper expectations for short-term price rises.

Affordability metrics such as the price-to-income ratio of 5.7 and rent-to-income ratio of 21.8% suggest the market is accessible for both buyers and renters. Sales volumes at 263 and the median discount to asking price point to a market where negotiation is possible, but not overly distressed. Overall, the next year is likely to see steady but unspectacular performance unless there is a significant shift in local demand or supply.
