Property investment stats for Bromsgrove, West Midlands

• The strong presence of families — at the 71st percentile nationally — supports ongoing demand for larger homes, particularly 3-bedroom houses, which currently have a median asking price of £325,000 and a median rent of £1,400.
• Bromsgrove’s average rental yield of 5.0% is competitive for this part of the country, with the top performing postcode district achieving yields of 5.4%.
• Properties are selling quickly, averaging 42 days on the market, and sellers are typically achieving their asking prices according to the £0 (the typical achieved discount) median discount, suggesting strong market liquidity.

• The private rental sector is relatively small, in the 22nd percentile nationally, which could limit options for scaling a rental portfolio.
• The area’s population of young adults is lower than average, with those aged 20-40 in the 32nd percentile, potentially reducing demand for smaller flats or shared accommodation.
• While capital growth has been steady, the annualised growth over three years is 3.1%, which may not satisfy investors seeking rapid appreciation.

Looking ahead, Bromsgrove’s property market is likely to remain stable, driven by a strong family buyer base and a high rate of owner-occupation. The combination of moderate capital growth — 1.6% over the past year and 9.7% over three years — and robust rental yields of 5.0% suggests a balanced environment for both income and long-term value.

Affordability remains a key strength, with both the price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios indicating sustainable levels for local households. With properties selling at or above asking price and a typical time to sell of 42 days, liquidity should stay healthy. Investors can expect steady, if unspectacular, returns with limited downside risk, especially for family-oriented homes.
