Property investment stats for Windsor, South East

• The average rental yield of 5.2% is attractive for the South East, with the top postcode district achieving a yield of 5.1%.
• Capital growth has remained positive, with a 1-year growth of 2.3% and a 3-year growth of 8.2%, which shows steady appreciation.
• The strong presence of professionals and managers, in the 80th percentile nationally, helps underpin demand for quality rental accommodation.

• The price-to-income ratio of 6.0 and rent-to-income ratio of 26.3% suggest affordability is stretched for some local households.
• With a median price per square foot of £541 per sq ft, entry costs are relatively high compared to many other parts of the UK.
• Owner-occupation is relatively low (33rd percentile), so the area’s stability relies more on the rental market than on long-term resident owners.

Windsor’s outlook for the next twelve months appears steady, underpinned by a resilient local economy and a strong professional demographic. Rental demand is likely to remain robust, given the high proportion of private rented housing and continued interest from well-qualified tenants.

Asking prices for a 3-bedroom house currently stand at £580,000, with rents at £2,775, while 2-bedroom flats have asking prices of £382,500 and rents of £1,798. Investors should expect moderate capital appreciation, as reflected in the annualised 3-year growth of 2.7%. Liquidity remains healthy, and while affordability is a concern, the area’s fundamentals suggest Windsor will continue to attract both tenants and investors.
