Property investment stats for Weymouth, South West

• Investors can achieve strong rental yields of 5.4%, with the top postcode district reaching 5.6%.
• The three-year capital growth of 12.5% and annualised growth of 4.0% suggest robust medium-term prospects.
• Median asking rents for both 3-bedroom houses (£1,400) and 2-bedroom flats (£975) are competitive relative to sale prices, supporting healthy rent-to-income ratios (22.9%).

• One-year capital growth has changed by -0.4%, which may indicate short-term volatility.
• The local population is older (88th percentile for 60+), which may limit future demand growth from younger renters or families.
• Median discounts of £1,125 (the typical achieved discount) suggest buyers have some negotiating power, which could affect resale values.

The outlook for Weymouth is steady, with medium-term capital growth trends remaining positive at 12.5% over three years. Liquidity is reasonable, as properties spend a median of 63 days on the market and annual sales reach 866, so investors can expect a fair balance between supply and demand.

Affordability remains attractive, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.7, while rental yields and rent-to-income ratios (5.4% and 22.9%) point to ongoing demand from renters. However, the older population profile and relatively low proportion of families could limit long-term growth in some segments. Overall, Weymouth offers a stable environment for income-focused investors and those seeking gradual capital appreciation.
