Should you invest in Barugh Green and Redbrook?

Opportunities

  • The top rental yield in the area is a healthy 5.2%, which is attractive for buy-to-let investors seeking steady income.
  • With a current median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house at £230,000 and a two-bedroom flat at £115,000, entry costs remain accessible for many investors.
  • Properties are selling quickly, with an average of 40 days, indicating good liquidity for those looking to buy or sell.

Risks

  • Capital values have changed by -3.2% over the past year, so investors should be prepared for some short-term volatility.
  • The area has a relatively high proportion of older residents, sitting in the 70th percentile for population aged 60+, which may influence future housing demand dynamics.
  • Private rented housing is in the 18th percentile, so the tenant pool may be smaller than in more rental-heavy markets.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the area’s affordability and strong three-year annualised growth of 6.6% provide reasons for optimism. The high proportion of owner-occupied homes and couples households (in the 99th percentile) suggests the market is underpinned by stability and long-term residents.

Rental yields at 5.2% remain competitive and, with homes selling at a median discount of £1,750 (the typical achieved discount), there is room for negotiation. While the last year’s capital growth of -3.2% signals a pause, the wider trend over three years is positive. Investors who value steady demand and a family-oriented environment may find Barugh Green and Redbrook a reassuring choice.
