Should you invest in Brough?

Opportunities

  • Rental yields are attractive, with an average of 4.7% and the top postcode district achieving 4.5%.
  • Affordability is a strength, as shown by a price-to-income ratio of 3.7, which is low by national standards.
  • The area’s popularity with families and couples, both in the 89th percentile, supports steady demand for larger homes.

Risks

  • Recent capital growth has changed by -0.7% over the past year, so short-term appreciation prospects may be muted.
  • The private rental sector is mid-ranking, in the 47th percentile, which may limit rental demand compared to areas with a larger renter base.
  • Social renting is rare, in the 2nd percentile, so investors relying on this market segment may struggle to find tenants.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Brough’s fundamentals suggest a stable environment for property investors. The area’s affordability, with a price-to-income ratio of 3.7, and strong owner-occupier base should help underpin values even if the market faces headwinds. Liquidity remains healthy, with homes selling in 37 days, and the steady presence of families and professionals bodes well for ongoing demand.

Rental yields are likely to remain competitive, given the average yield of 4.7% and strong demand for family homes. While short-term capital growth has been subdued, the longer-term trajectory — annualised growth over three years at 2.9% — suggests resilience. Investors should expect a market that favours stability and steady income rather than rapid gains.
