Property investment stats for Yeovil, South West

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 6.1%, especially in the top-performing district of BA21 with yields of 6.1%.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.3 and median sale prices for typical family homes and flats (£270,000 and £140,000) support attractive affordability for buyers.
• With a private rented sector in the 64th percentile and a sizable younger adult population, rental demand should remain resilient.

• The capital growth over one year of -0.2% suggests limited short-term price momentum, which may not suit those seeking quick returns.
• The median achieved minus asking price of £2,500 (the typical achieved discount) indicates buyers are negotiating discounts, reflecting a market that may not be highly competitive.
• Professional and degree-educated population rates are both below the national median, which could limit future demand from higher-income tenants or buyers.

The outlook for Yeovil is steady rather than spectacular. Investors can expect ongoing demand from renters, supported by the town’s relatively young demographic and a private rented sector that sits above the national midpoint. The annualised growth over three years of 3.7% suggests that while the market has not been surging, it has managed a respectable pace over the medium term.

Affordability metrics remain attractive, and the median asking rents for a three-bedroom house (£1,200) and two-bedroom flat (£872) provide scope for solid rental income streams. While rapid capital appreciation looks unlikely in the short term, the fundamentals point to a market that offers consistent returns for those willing to take a longer view.
