Property investment stats for Yateley, South East

• The area’s stability, high rate of owner occupation, and strong family appeal offer potential for steady long-term capital appreciation, as seen in the 1-year capital growth of 5.4% and 3-year growth of 8.8%.
• Investors may find value in three-bedroom houses, where median asking prices are £450,000 and median rents are £1,850, supporting the area’s appeal to families.
• The low unemployment rate (20th percentile nationally) and high proportion of professionals and managers (63rd percentile) support stable demand for quality housing.

• Rental yields remain modest at 3.5%, and the top local yield is also just 3.5%, which may not appeal to yield-focused investors.
• With only 163 sales annually, liquidity can be limited, potentially making it harder to exit quickly in a slower market.
• The low proportion of private rented housing (4th percentile) may limit rental demand and make it harder to scale a portfolio locally.

Yateley’s market is likely to remain stable, supported by its appeal to families and high levels of owner occupation. The capital growth trend over the past year (5.4%) and three years (8.8%, annualised at 2.9%) suggests steady, if unspectacular, appreciation.

Rental yields are unlikely to rise significantly in the near term, given the existing low proportion of private rentals and the dominance of owner-occupiers. Investors should expect modest returns from rent and focus on long-term capital growth. Overall, Yateley looks best suited to investors with a long-term, low-risk outlook rather than those seeking rapid gains or high yields.
