Property investment stats for Warlingham, South East

• The area offers average rental yields of 4.5%, with the top-performing postcode district reaching 4.5%.
• With annualised growth over three years at 3.5%, Warlingham has delivered consistent capital appreciation.
• The high proportion of professionals and managers (in the 84th percentile) underpins demand for quality family homes and larger properties.

• The private rental sector is small (15th percentile), which may limit tenant choice and make it harder to scale a rental portfolio.
• The population skews older (60+ age group in the 80th percentile), so demand for rental properties from younger tenants may be muted.
• Properties spend a median of 64 days on the market, which could affect liquidity for those needing a quick sale.

Over the next twelve months, Warlingham is likely to remain a steady performer rather than a hotspot for dramatic growth. The dominance of owner-occupiers and modest rental supply means investors should not expect a flood of new rental opportunities. However, consistent annualised growth of 3.5% and a stable professional population suggest continued resilience in both sales and rental markets.

Affordability pressures may temper buyer enthusiasm, as reflected in the price-to-income ratio of 6.6 and median price per square foot of £498 per sq ft. Still, with annual sales at 121 and a typical discount to asking price, there is scope for negotiation. Investors who value stability and long-term capital preservation may find Warlingham's measured pace and mature demographic appealing.
