The next 12 months in Yapton may see a cautious but stable market, given the recent change in annual capital values of -3.2%. However, the solid three-year growth rate of 12.5% and annualised returns of 4.0% suggest underlying resilience. Family demand is likely to remain robust, given the area’s high percentile for family households and strong owner-occupation. Investors should expect steady, rather than spectacular, performance — especially with asking prices for three-bedroom houses at £371,250 and two-bedroom flats at £225,000.

Rental investors can take some comfort from the top local rental yield of 6.0%, although the private rented sector is small. Overall, Yapton suits those seeking moderate growth and stable family-oriented tenancies.
