Property investment stats for Bolsover, East Midlands

• Investors benefit from strong rental yields of 5.7%, making Bolsover appealing for income-focused buyers.
• The current median asking sale price of a 3-bedroom house at £220,000 and median rent at £975 indicate a healthy balance of affordability and rental demand.
• The area’s annualised growth over three years of 5.7% shows that capital appreciation has been consistent, supporting a case for long-term investment.

• The private rented housing percentile is at 23, which is relatively low and could mean limited tenant pool growth compared to more rental-driven areas.
• The population aged 60 and over is in the 73rd percentile, suggesting a market that could be less dynamic or see slower demand growth among younger renters or buyers.
• The area has a degree-educated population in the 14th percentile and professionals and managers at the 20th percentile, which may limit future upward pressure on prices if local incomes do not rise.

Looking ahead, Bolsover’s consistent capital growth of 7.8% over one year and 5.7% annualised over three years positions it as a stable performer rather than a boom-and-bust market. The median achieved price is typically £3,950 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, reflecting a market where buyers have some negotiating power but demand is still present.

With a rent-to-income ratio of 20.5%, affordability for tenants remains reasonable, which should help support rental demand. The dominance of couples and owner-occupiers is likely to support ongoing stability, but the low proportion of private renters and older population profile could temper future growth. Investors should expect steady, rather than spectacular, returns if current trends continue.
