Should you invest in Burton Latimer?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 4.8% makes the area attractive for buy-to-let investors looking for steady income.
  • Homes are relatively affordable, as seen in the price-to-income ratio of 4.6, which could broaden the potential buyer and tenant pool.
  • The median sale price for a 3-bedroom house of £270,000 and median rent for the same at £1,300 indicate a solid balance between purchase price and achievable rent.

Risks

  • The one-year capital growth has changed by -4.6%, which may concern those seeking short-term appreciation.
  • The market is not dominated by private renters, with the area in the 29th percentile for private rented housing, potentially limiting tenant demand compared to more rental-heavy locations.
  • The proportion of degree-educated and professional residents is relatively low, which could affect future demand and price growth.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Burton Latimer’s property market appears stable for those focused on income, given the average rental yield of 4.8% and ongoing demand from families and couples. The annualised growth over three years of 2.6% suggests a slow but positive trend for capital values if investors are willing to look beyond short-term fluctuations.

Liquidity should remain reasonable, with homes spending a median of 46 days on the market and a steady stream of 130 annual sales. Affordability is likely to continue supporting demand, especially among owner-occupiers and family buyers. On balance, the area offers a blend of stability and income potential, even if short-term capital gains look less certain.
