Property investment stats for Cawston (Rugby), West Midlands

• The high proportion of families and couples in Cawston means strong ongoing demand for larger homes, especially 3-bedroom houses, which currently have a median asking sale price of £330,000 and a median rent of £1,300.
• The area's owner-occupier strength and relatively quick sales pace — 36 days — suggest good liquidity for those looking to sell down the line.
• The top postcode district rental yield of 5.1% is a bright spot for buy-to-let investors, especially given the limited competition from other landlords.

• With private rented housing in the 1st percentile, finding tenants could be slower than in more rental-heavy areas, and the pool of renters is limited.
• The student and young professional market is not a major factor here, with low population percentiles for those aged 20-30 and single occupiers, so buy-to-lets targeting these groups may struggle.
• The median discount of £1,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers expect to negotiate, which could impact returns if the market cools.

Looking ahead, Cawston’s fundamentals seem solid for steady, if unspectacular, growth. The strong family and owner-occupier presence means demand for homes is likely to remain robust, particularly for three-bedroom houses. With annualised three-year growth at 3.8% and a one-year capital growth of 1.7%, investors should expect gradual appreciation rather than quick wins.

Rental demand is likely to stay subdued given the low proportion of renters, so buy-to-let strategies should be carefully targeted — think family homes rather than student lets. Still, with average yields at 4.3% and homes selling briskly, Cawston offers a relatively low-risk environment for those seeking stability over speculation.
