A complete guide to property investment in Camborne.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Camborne presents a mixed picture for investors, with a blend of affordability, moderate growth, and a strong presence of private renters. The area’s price-to-income ratio of 4.9 suggests that property is relatively accessible compared to much of Britain, while the median price per square foot of £263 per sq ft keeps entry costs in check. The annualised growth over three years of 5.8% and one-year capital growth of 4.5% both point to a market that has steadily appreciated. Liquidity is reasonable, with annual sales at 269 and properties spending a typical 61 days on the market.
Rental demand appears robust, supported by a rent-to-income ratio of 24.4% and a high percentile of private rented housing, positioning Camborne as a viable buy-to-let location for those seeking income as well as capital appreciation.

The market in Camborne is likely to remain stable over the next year, supported by steady demand from renters and continued affordability for buyers. With properties spending 61 days on the market and a median discount of £2,500 (the typical achieved discount), investors should expect realistic pricing and moderate competition.
Rental yields are expected to hold up, given the high percentile of private rented housing and current income ratios. Capital appreciation may continue at a measured pace, echoing the annualised growth over three years of 5.8%, but significant demographic shifts are unlikely in the short term. Investors should focus on well-priced properties in high-yielding locations to maximise returns while keeping an eye on the evolving tenant profile.
