Should you invest in Twickenham?

Opportunities

  • Rental yields remain steady, with the top-performing district offering a yield of 4.9%, which is attractive for London standards.
  • The degree-educated and professional population is in the 90th percentile or above, suggesting consistent demand for quality rental accommodation.
  • The strong family demographic (in the 80th percentile for families) supports ongoing demand for larger homes, particularly 3-bedroom houses, with current asking rents of £2,900.

Risks

  • Capital growth over the past year has changed by -1.8%, so short-term appreciation is not guaranteed.
  • Properties are achieving a median of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount) less than asking price, which may reflect buyer caution or negotiation power.
  • The price-to-income ratio of 7.2 and high median asking prices could limit the pool of potential buyers, affecting liquidity if market sentiment shifts.

Outlook

Twickenham’s fundamentals remain strong, with a well-educated, professional tenant base and robust rental demand. The area’s annualised growth over three years sits at 1.1%, indicating steady, if unspectacular, performance over the medium term.

Rental yields of 4.9% are solid for this part of London, and the family market is likely to underpin ongoing demand for both sales and lettings. While the past year’s capital growth has changed by -1.8%, longer-term prospects are supported by the area’s desirability and stability. Investors can expect a balanced market with moderate liquidity and sustained rental appeal, though rapid price gains seem unlikely in the coming year.
