Property investment stats for Witney, South East

• Rental investors may be drawn to strong rental yields of 5.5%, especially in the top-performing postcode district of OX28, which matches this yield.
• The median rent for a 3-bedroom house of £1,650 and a 2-bedroom flat of £1,250 can support healthy rental income, especially given the area's appeal to couples and young professionals.
• The median achieved minus asking price of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests there is room to negotiate on asking prices, which could improve initial returns for buyers.

• The capital growth over one year of -0.4% shows that prices have changed only slightly in the short term, so investors seeking rapid appreciation may need to adjust expectations.
• With a rent-to-income ratio of 22.1%, affordability could become a concern for tenants if rents rise faster than incomes.
• The market's steady liquidity, as shown by days on market of 63 days, means properties do not always sell instantly, so investors should be prepared for typical selling periods.

Looking ahead, Witney's property market is likely to remain stable, supported by its balanced demographic profile and steady sales activity. The three-year capital growth of 8.9% and annualised growth of 2.9% indicate the potential for moderate gains, particularly for those prepared to hold assets over the medium term.

Rental yields are expected to stay competitive, given the current average of 5.5% and consistent demand from couples and professionals. Affordability remains reasonable, with both the price-to-income ratio of 5.1 and the rent-to-income ratio of 22.1% suggesting room for sustainable growth. Investors should expect a market that favours patience and a long-term view rather than quick wins.
