Should you invest in Crooked Billet?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield stands at 4.7%, and the top-performing district offers yields up to 5.2%, which will catch the eye of buy-to-let investors.
  • The area’s high proportion of private renters (in the 95th percentile) and professionals (in the 99th percentile) creates a deep, stable tenant pool willing to pay for quality.
  • The median rent for a 2-bedroom flat is £3,250, while a 3-bedroom house commands £4,750, supporting strong rental income potential.

Risks

  • Capital growth over the last year has changed by -3.2%, so investors should be prepared for short-term price fluctuations.
  • With a median achieved minus asking price of £13,950 (the typical achieved discount), sellers may need to adjust expectations or hold out for the right buyer.
  • Properties spend an average of 88 days on the market, which could mean longer holding periods before sale.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Crooked Billet offers a blend of stability and long-term appeal, underpinned by a highly educated, professional tenant base. While the annualised growth over three years sits at 1.6%, suggesting steady but unspectacular capital appreciation, the area’s fundamentals remain strong. Liquidity is reasonable, with 122 transactions per year and properties typically moving in 88 days.

Affordability will continue to be a challenge, as reflected in the 6.6 price-to-income ratio and 29.6% rent-to-income ratio, but this is par for the course in desirable London neighbourhoods. Investors should expect ongoing demand from renters, especially professionals and single occupiers, and can rely on the area’s resilience even if price growth remains moderate.
