Should you invest in Biggleswade?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong rental yields of 4.9%, making it attractive for buy-to-let investors.
  • Properties are selling at a median discount of £4,000 (the typical achieved discount), suggesting room for negotiation and potential value buys.
  • Liquidity is healthy, with properties spending just 57 days on the market on average, giving investors confidence in timely sales or exits.

Risks

  • The student population is in the 11th percentile, so demand from this segment is limited compared to university towns.
  • The private rented sector sits in the 34th percentile, meaning rental demand may be lower than some urban markets.
  • Annual sales volume at 350 suggests a relatively small pool of transactions, which could limit options for investors seeking scale.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Biggleswade appears set for stable if unspectacular performance. The annualised growth over three years of 4.0% points to a market that avoids extremes, appealing to investors seeking reliability. Rental yields remain at 4.9%, and with a high proportion of couples and families in the area, demand for larger homes should hold firm.

Affordability metrics support ongoing demand, and properties tend to sell at a discount to asking, giving buyers a slight edge. With a balanced demographic profile and steady sales, investors can expect consistent returns without dramatic swings in value.
