Property investment stats for Aldgate, East London

• Strong rental yields of 6.6% make Aldgate appealing for investors focused on income generation.
• The area’s extremely high proportion of private renters (in the 99th percentile for Britain) suggests strong ongoing demand for rental properties.
• Healthy one-year capital growth of 6.5% points to potential for further value appreciation, especially given the young, professional demographic.

• Affordability is stretched, with a price-to-income ratio of 8.6 and rent-to-income ratio of 43.6%, which could limit future price growth or make it tougher for tenants to absorb rent increases.
• The dominance of private renting and low owner-occupation (1st percentile) could mean less stability if rental demand ever wanes.
• Properties spend about 113 days on the market, which is not especially fast for London, so investors may need patience when selling.

Aldgate’s rental market looks set to remain strong, given the area’s extremely high proportion of young professionals, students and single occupiers. The robust rental yields of 6.6% and recent capital growth of 6.5% support a mildly positive outlook for both income and capital appreciation.

That said, affordability is a real constraint, with both sale and rental prices high relative to incomes. Investors should expect ongoing demand from renters and a dynamic, liquid market, but may need to be patient when selling, as properties currently spend about 113 days on the market. Over the next year, Aldgate should continue to attract renters and investors who value the area’s energy and stability, even if price growth moderates.
