A complete guide to property investment in Breaston and Draycott.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Breaston and Draycott sit on the edge of Derby, offering a mature residential market with a strong owner-occupier presence — reflected in the owner-occupied housing percentile in the 94th percentile and private rentals in the 16th percentile. Property values have seen steady growth over the past three years, with capital growth of 10.6% and annualised growth of 3.4%. The price-to-income ratio of 4.8 suggests affordability is reasonable compared to many UK regions.

Rental yields are moderate, with an average of 3.9%, and the top postcode district yield is 3.7%. Rental demand is underpinned by a relatively low student and young professional presence, with the 20-30 and 30-40 age groups both in the bottom 15th percentile.

Looking ahead, Breaston and Draycott are likely to remain stable markets, with modest price changes and steady demand from owner-occupiers. The capital growth over the past year has been muted at 0.3%, but three-year performance at 10.6% suggests that long-term investors have seen consistent gains.
Rental yields are not especially high, but the low price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios (4.8 and 20.6%) should help sustain affordability for buyers and tenants alike. Liquidity may remain an issue, given the relatively slow sales pace and the high proportion of older residents (60+ in the 93rd percentile), but overall, the area is likely to appeal to cautious investors prioritising stability and gradual growth.
