Property investment stats for Brondesbury, North West London

A complete guide to property investment in Brondesbury.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Brondesbury stands out for investors who want a slice of North West London’s rental market, with a private rented housing share in the 96th percentile — about as high as it gets for the capital. The area is dominated by young professionals and single occupiers, both in the 90th percentile or above, while families and couples are far less common. With a median price per square foot of £855 per sq ft and a price-to-income ratio of 10.2, affordability is stretched, but that’s standard for this part of London. Liquidity is healthy, with 267 annual sales and homes spending a median of 72 days on the market.

Should you invest in Brondesbury?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 4.7% is robust for London, and investors focused on the highest returns can look to the top postcode district rental yield of 5.9%.
  • A 1-year capital growth of 5.8% suggests recent price momentum, which could be attractive for those seeking short-term gains.
  • High demand from a young, professional and degree-educated population (all in the 85th percentile or above) supports strong tenant demand and consistent occupancy.

Risks

  • The rent-to-income ratio of 34.3% signals affordability pressure for tenants, which may cap future rental growth or lead to higher turnover.
  • A median achieved minus asking price of £10,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers are negotiating harder, which could impact sales prices.
  • The dominance of single occupiers and a low family presence may limit the appeal of larger properties or long-term tenancies.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Brondesbury’s appeal to young professionals and renters is unlikely to fade, given the area’s demographic profile and high proportion of private rented homes. The annualised capital growth over three years of 0.9% shows a slower pace than the recent one-year figure, so investors should temper expectations for rapid price rises.

Rental demand should remain solid, especially with a median asking rent for a 2-bedroom flat of £2,550 and a median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house of £3,800, though affordability will be a watchpoint. With liquidity steady and days on market at 72 days, Brondesbury offers stability more than explosive growth. For buy-to-let investors, the fundamentals look reassuring, but the best opportunities will be in properties that match the area’s dominant tenant profile.
