Last updated: 18 September 2025
Whittlesey sits in the East of England with a property market that offers a mix of affordability and steady demand.

Liquidity is moderate, with properties taking an average of 62 days to sell and a median discount of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount), which means buyers have some room for negotiation.

Looking ahead, Whittlesey’s property market is likely to remain stable, supported by its affordability and steady demand from couples and older residents. The annual sales figure of 322 and the days on market of 62 days suggest a market that is neither overheated nor stagnant. While the recent 1-year capital growth of -1.2% shows some softening, the three-year growth of 16.4% and annualised growth of 5.2% point to a resilient longer-term trend.
Rental yields, especially in the top-performing district at 5.8%, should continue to attract investors seeking income. However, with an older demographic and lower levels of professional employment, future growth may be steady rather than spectacular. Investors should focus on value and income rather than expecting rapid capital gains.
