A complete guide to property investment in Wrexham.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
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.

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.
