A complete guide to property investment in Bishop's Cleeve.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Bishop's Cleeve offers a steady property market with a focus on family and couple households, reflected in its high percentiles for these groups. The area shows a strong owner-occupier presence, and private renting is less common compared to much of Britain. With homes typically spending 54 days on the market and a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), liquidity is decent, though not especially brisk. Investors will note the average rental yield of 4.8%, which is competitive for the South West, and the capital growth over three years of 12.5% suggests a solid, if unspectacular, upward trend.

Looking ahead, Bishop's Cleeve is likely to remain a steady and reliable market for investors who value stability over rapid gains. The area’s strong base of owner-occupiers and families suggests that demand for homes will continue, supporting both prices and rental values. With the annualised growth over three years of 4.0% and a respectable average rental yield of 4.8%, investors can expect gradual returns rather than headline-grabbing jumps.
Affordability metrics, including the price-to-income ratio of 5.0, indicate that the market is not overheated. While liquidity is moderate and rental demand is not as robust as in larger cities, the fundamentals look sound for those with a medium- to long-term horizon. Overall, Bishop's Cleeve’s property market offers a blend of security, affordability, and incremental growth.
