Property investment stats for Wick (Arun), South East

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.0%, with the top district achieving 6.0%.
• The area’s three-year capital growth of 10.8% shows consistent value appreciation, which may appeal to those seeking stability.
• With a median price per square foot of £354 per sq ft, entry costs remain attractive compared to many parts of the South East.

• The degree-educated and professional population is in the 11th percentile, which may limit demand from higher-earning tenants or buyers.
• Social rented housing is in the 69th percentile, which could influence local market dynamics and tenant profiles.
• Owner-occupation and private rental rates are both below the national median, so local demand patterns may not match national trends.

The next year is likely to see Wick remain a steady performer, with no signs of overheating or dramatic correction. Given the 3.9% over the past year and a relatively short average time on market of 68 days, demand appears stable. Rental demand is underpinned by strong yields and a high proportion of family households (in the 88th percentile), which should support occupancy rates.

Affordability measures such as the 4.9 ratio suggest that the area is accessible to a broad range of buyers. Investors should expect moderate growth and a balanced rental market, with the potential for incremental capital appreciation rather than rapid gains. The local demographic mix and steady liquidity point to a market that is unlikely to surprise — positively or negatively — in the short term.
