A complete guide to property investment in Bargod.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Bargod has seen an impressive run in property values, with capital growth over one year of 10.2% and a robust three-year growth of 34.4%. The annualised growth rate over three years sits at 10.4%, suggesting a market that has been anything but sleepy. Affordability stands out, as the price-to-income ratio is 3.9, which is relatively low by national standards and could appeal to both investors and first-time buyers.
Liquidity is reasonable, with annual sales at 70 and properties spending a median 50 days before changing hands. The typical asking price for a three-bedroom house is £170,000, while a two-bedroom flat comes in at £150,000. These figures, paired with moderate asking rents, paint a picture of a market accessible to a broad range of buyers and renters alike.

Given the recent surge in values, with capital growth over one year of 10.2% and a three-year rate of 34.4%, Bargod's property market has clear momentum. The relatively low price-to-income ratio of 3.9 and accessible asking prices for both houses and flats could continue to attract a mix of buyers and renters, especially those priced out of larger cities.
However, the area’s economic profile, with a degree-educated population in the 8th percentile and a professionals and managers population in the 3rd percentile, suggests future growth may depend on broader regeneration or employment trends. Rental demand appears solid, with the private rented sector in the 66th percentile, but investors should keep an eye on local employment figures. Overall, the next twelve months look promising for those seeking growth and affordability, though a cautious approach is warranted given some of the underlying economic signals.
