A complete guide to property investment in Woodville.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Woodville presents a market with a strong base of owner-occupiers and a high proportion of couples and families, which shapes its housing demand. The area’s affordability is underscored by a price-to-income ratio of 4.6 and a rent-to-income ratio of 19.3%, indicating that both buying and renting are relatively accessible compared to many parts of the country. Sales are reasonably brisk with homes spending a median of 36 days on the market, and the gap between achieved and asking price is moderate at £3,000 (the typical achieved discount). The median price per square foot is £248 per sq ft, which may appeal to buyers looking for value.
Rental yields average 4.1%, with the top postcode district achieving yields of 5.3%, suggesting some pockets of stronger rental performance for investors willing to target specific locations. However, recent capital growth has changed by -3.6% over the past year, which may give some investors pause.

Over the next 12 months, Woodville is likely to remain appealing to investors who prioritise stability and income over rapid capital appreciation. The strong presence of families and couples should support ongoing demand for houses, particularly three-bedroom properties. While recent capital growth has changed by -3.6%, the three-year annualised growth rate of 3.0% suggests that the market is capable of delivering steady returns over a longer period.
Rental yields, especially in the top-performing postcode district (5.3%), provide a buffer for investors against short-term price movements. Liquidity remains reasonable, with homes selling in a median of 36 days, and affordability measures are favourable. Investors should expect a market that favours patient, income-focused strategies rather than speculative, short-term gains.
