Property investment stats for Barnton, North West

• The relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.3 suggests that homes in Barnton are more affordable than in many other parts of the country.
• With owner-occupation in the 87th percentile and a median asking price for a three-bedroom house at £250,000, there’s a clear appeal for family buyers and those seeking stability.
• The top postcode district in the area offers rental yields of 5.3%, which could be attractive for investors focusing on steady income.

• The private rented sector is in the 22nd percentile, so demand from renters may be limited compared to more urban locations.
• The population aged 20-30 is only in the 21st percentile, which could mean less future tenant demand from younger adults.
• With annual sales at 90, liquidity is reasonable but not high, so investors may need patience when selling.

Looking ahead, Barnton’s property market seems set to continue its steady path. The annualised growth over three years is 2.4%, which points to gradual appreciation rather than rapid gains. The high proportion of owner-occupiers and couples suggests a stable base, but also means less churn and potentially slower movement in the market.

Rental demand is unlikely to surge given the low percentage of private renters and younger residents, but for those focused on income, the 5.3% rental yields in the best postcode district still stand out. Overall, I’d expect the next 12 months to bring more of the same: modest growth, strong stability, and a market that rewards patient, long-term investors.
