Property investment stats for Broughton Astley, East Midlands

• The price-to-income ratio of 4.8 makes Broughton Astley attractive for buyers seeking good value relative to local earnings.
• Capital growth over three years is positive at 9.7%, showing the area's longer-term resilience even if the last year has seen only modest changes.
• The top local rental yield of 4.8% in LE9 might appeal to investors targeting specific micro-markets.

• The average rental yield of 3.6% is on the lower end for the region, so buy-to-let investors may find better returns elsewhere.
• Capital growth over the last year has changed by -0.4%, which could signal a pause in the upward trend.
• The private rented sector is small (in the 19th percentile), which could limit liquidity and tenant demand for new rental stock.

Looking ahead, Broughton Astley is likely to remain a stronghold for owner-occupiers, with families and couples making up the bulk of demand. Given the 3.1% growth rate over three years and the steady number of annual sales, the market seems stable, if not especially fast-moving. Properties are typically selling within 55 days, which is a sign of healthy — if not frenetic — demand.

Rental investors may find the area less appealing unless targeting specific pockets with higher yields, as the average return is modest at 3.6%. However, buyers looking for a place to settle down, especially those after a three-bedroom house at the current median asking price of £286,250, will find Broughton Astley both accessible and welcoming. The next 12 months are likely to bring more of the same: a stable, family-oriented market with gentle price movement and plenty of appeal for those who value community and consistency over quick wins.
