In the next year, Countesthorpe is likely to remain a stable market for investors seeking long-term growth rather than quick profits. The combination of capital growth of 2.3% in the last year and consistent appreciation over three years indicates that values are holding up well. Affordability, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.4, should support ongoing demand from buyers, especially families and couples who dominate the area.
Liquidity remains moderate, so investors should be prepared for properties to spend some time on the market. The limited size of the rental sector means buy-to-let opportunities are best targeted at the most in-demand property types, such as three-bedroom houses, where asking rents are currently £1,300. Overall, Countesthorpe should appeal to those looking for steady, reliable returns in a mature, owner-occupied market.
