A complete guide to property investment in Wrexham.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Wrexham offers a blend of affordability and rental opportunity, with property prices remaining accessible for many buyers. Investors will notice a price-to-income ratio of 3.9, which suggests that local incomes are well matched to the housing market. The area’s median price per square foot of £208 per sq ft makes entry relatively straightforward, while sales volumes (454 per year) and a brisk average of 30 days on market indicate healthy liquidity.

Rental demand is supported by a sizeable student presence (in the 76th percentile nationally), and the average rental yield of 5.9% is attractive for landlords. However, capital growth has changed by -2.0% over the past year, which may temper enthusiasm for those seeking quick capital gains.

Should you invest in Wrexham?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 5.9% is compelling for investors looking for steady income rather than short-term gains.
  • The strong student population (in the 76th percentile) and above-average proportion of private renters (61st percentile) provide a reliable rental market.
  • Properties move quickly, with an average of 30 days on the market, suggesting that liquidity is rarely an issue for sellers.

Risks

  • Capital values have changed by -2.0% over the last year, which may concern those focused on asset appreciation.
  • The area’s professional and managerial population is in the 12th percentile, potentially limiting demand for higher-end or executive lets.
  • High levels of social rented housing (83rd percentile) could indicate less upward pressure on private rental values in some neighbourhoods.

Outlook

Wrexham’s property market is likely to remain attractive for income-focused investors, given the average rental yield of 5.9% and ongoing demand from students and private renters. The median sale price for a three-bedroom house of £260,000 and a median rent of £925 keep affordability and returns in a healthy balance.

While capital growth has changed by -2.0% over the past year, the three-year trend (7.4%) and annualised growth (2.4%) still point to moderate long-term gains. Investors should expect a stable but unspectacular ride, with rental income providing the main draw. Liquidity remains strong, and the local market is unlikely to see dramatic swings, making it a practical choice for those seeking consistency over excitement.
