A complete guide to property investment in Wixams.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Wixams stands out for its appeal to families and couples, with the area being in the highest percentile for both these groups. Owner-occupation is also high, suggesting a stable resident base and potential for long-term capital retention. The current median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house is £400,000, while a two-bedroom flat is being marketed at £245,000. Rental yields average 5.1%, with the best-performing postcode district offering a yield of 5.6%.
Despite these attractions, capital growth over the past year changed by -3.2%, though over three years it has increased by 5.2% (an annualised rate of 1.7%). The median price per square foot is £344 per sq ft, and affordability measures show a price-to-income ratio of 5.8 and a rent-to-income ratio of 28.9%.

The outlook for Wixams is shaped by its strong family and owner-occupier appeal, with high demand likely to support both sales and lettings. While capital growth has been subdued over the past year, the three-year trend is more positive, suggesting some resilience in values.
Rental yields remain attractive at 5.1%, and with properties selling in a median of 27 days, liquidity does not appear to be a concern. Affordability metrics are moderate, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.8, so the area is not especially stretched compared to other family-oriented markets. Investors should expect stability rather than rapid gains, with steady rental demand and gradual capital appreciation over the next year.
