Should you invest in Cotgrave?

Opportunities

  • Rental yields in the top postcode district are currently 5.0%, which stands out for this part of the East Midlands.
  • Family homes are in high demand, with couples and families making up a large share of local households (in the 96th and 69th percentiles respectively).
  • The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £295,000, while a 2-bedroom flat can be let for a median rent of £750, offering options across the price spectrum.

Risks

  • The low proportion of private rented homes (in the 14th percentile) means the tenant pool is not as deep as in some urban markets.
  • Social rented housing is relatively high (77th percentile), which may limit the appeal of certain property types for private landlords.
  • The achieved price is typically £4,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, suggesting buyers have some negotiating power.

Outlook

Cotgrave’s outlook is quietly positive, with annualised capital growth over three years at 2.7%. The area’s strong family and couple demographics should keep demand for houses robust, and the low price-to-income ratio of 4.4 means affordability is not stretched.

Liquidity remains a strength, as homes only spend about 32 days on the market, and annual sales are healthy at 110. Rental yields in the top postcode district are attractive, but investors should be aware that the private rental sector is small. Overall, Cotgrave offers steady prospects for investors who value stability and consistent demand.
