Property investment stats for Bourne, East Midlands

• The average rental yield of 5.4% and a top postcode district yield of 5.2% make Bourne attractive for those seeking steady rental income.
• High liquidity, with properties selling in 32 days on average, means investors can expect relatively quick sales or lets.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.7 suggests that entry costs for buyers are manageable compared to many other parts of the country.

• The 1-year capital growth of -2.7% indicates recent price movement has been negative, so short-term capital appreciation is uncertain.
• The market is not especially driven by young professionals or students, with both groups sitting near the national midpoint, potentially limiting demand growth from these segments.
• Owner-occupation is high, which may limit the growth of the private rental sector over time.

The next twelve months in Bourne are likely to be shaped by affordability and steady demand. While the capital growth over 1 year of -2.7% has been negative, the three-year annualised growth of 3.7% shows a more positive medium-term trend. Rental yields remain solid, and the demographic base of families and couples suggests demand for larger homes will continue.

Liquidity is expected to remain healthy, with properties moving at a brisk pace and no sign of significant oversupply. Investors should not expect rapid price gains, but the fundamentals point to a stable environment with reliable rental returns. Those seeking long-term, steady performance rather than spectacular short-term growth may find Bourne fits the bill.
