Property investment stats for Carlton (Gedling), East Midlands

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.8%, especially in the area’s top-performing postcode district (6.0%).
• Capital growth has been steady, with a 1-year capital growth of 2.3% and a 3-year capital growth of 17.7%, showing resilience and upside.
• The median asking prices for both three-bedroom houses (£270,000) and two-bedroom flats (£140,000) offer entry points that are appealing for a range of budgets.

• While the market moves quickly, the relatively high owner-occupier rate (in the 73rd percentile) may mean less churn in the private rented sector than in more transient locations.
• The area’s professional and degree-educated population sits around the middle of the national range, which could limit premium rental demand.
• Social rented housing is in the lower percentiles, so there may be fewer opportunities for investors seeking to target supported or affordable housing schemes.

The outlook for Carlton is quietly optimistic. Steady capital growth — annualised at 5.6% — combined with robust yields and accessible pricing, suggests the area will continue to attract both investors and local buyers. With properties selling at asking price and moving in just 27 days, liquidity should remain strong barring any major economic shocks.

Affordability remains a key advantage, with both sale and rental prices for typical homes (£270,000 and £1,225) remaining within reach for many families and couples (the latter group is especially prevalent, in the 82nd percentile). Investors should expect more of the same: stable returns, manageable risk, and a market that rewards patience and realism rather than speculation.
