Property investment stats for Westbury (Wiltshire), South West

• Investors benefit from strong rental yields of 5.2%, with the top local postcode district achieving 5.1%.
• The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house of £1,425 and for a 2-bedroom flat of £1,100 provide attractive income potential relative to sale prices.
• The annualised growth over three years of 3.5% shows steady long-term appreciation, even with recent short-term volatility.

• Capital values have changed by -3.1% over the past year, which may concern investors seeking immediate growth.
• The student population and degree-educated percentile are both below the national median, possibly limiting tenant demand from these groups.
• The population aged 20-30 is in the 72nd percentile, so while rental demand may be strong now, future demographic shifts could affect stability.

Looking ahead, Westbury's fundamentals remain solid, with affordability and demand both supported by a price-to-income ratio of 4.6 and a median achieved minus asking price of £0 (the typical achieved discount). The steady annualised growth of 3.5% over three years suggests that, despite recent short-term changes, the area is capable of delivering consistent returns for patient investors. Rental demand is likely to stay resilient, given the private rented housing percentile of 59 and the strong showing among households with couples and families.

Liquidity should remain healthy, as demonstrated by properties spending 49 days on the market and annual sales of 343. Investors may want to keep an eye on short-term capital movements, but the medium-term outlook is underpinned by reasonable prices, robust yields, and stable demand.
