Property investment stats for West Moors, South West

• Rental yields in the top-performing postcode district stand at 4.3%, which is respectable for a low-turnover, owner-occupied area.
• The median achieved price is £9,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, giving buyers some room for negotiation.
• The market for three-bedroom houses and two-bedroom flats is clearly defined, with median asking prices at £425,000 and £215,000, and corresponding median rents at £1,700 and £1,125.

• The population is heavily weighted towards those aged 60 and above, in the 99th percentile, which may limit future demand from younger buyers or renters.
• Private rented housing is in the 5th percentile, indicating limited rental stock and potentially slower growth for buy-to-let investors.
• Family and younger adult demographics are both in the lowest percentiles, which could impact long-term market vibrancy and resale demand.

Looking ahead, West Moors is set to remain a stable and predictable market, with little sign of dramatic shifts in demand or supply. The dominance of older residents and high owner-occupation rates suggest turnover will stay modest, but also that volatility is unlikely. Investors can expect steady, if unspectacular, returns, particularly given the 10.8% capital growth over three years and the area's consistent performance.

While rental yields are not headline-grabbing, the combination of room to negotiate on price and stable tenant demand among older residents makes this an appealing choice for low-risk, long-term investors. The lack of younger households and families means growth will probably track broader trends rather than outpace them, but the area’s reliability is its own reward.
