Property investment stats for Earl Shilton, East Midlands

• The average rental yield of 3.9% and a top postcode district yield of 4.8% offer steady income potential for landlords.
• The median sale price of a 2-bedroom flat at £113,500 and a 3-bedroom house at £250,000 make entry costs relatively affordable compared to many parts of the country.
• The high proportion of couples in the area (in the 97th percentile) could create consistent demand for well-presented homes suited to this life stage.

• The capital growth over one year of -1.8% suggests recent price changes have been negative, which may deter those seeking short-term gains.
• The area’s student and degree-educated population are both low (in the 12th and 15th percentiles), potentially limiting demand for certain rental types or higher-end properties.
• Families are less prevalent (25th percentile), so larger family homes may not see as much demand as in other areas.

Looking ahead, the market in Earl Shilton seems likely to remain stable, with a good mix of owner-occupiers and private renters supporting ongoing demand. The annualised growth over three years of 3.8% and overall three-year capital growth of 12.0% show that, despite recent softening, property values have risen respectably over the medium term.

Affordability is a plus here, with the rent-to-income ratio at 20.2%, which should help keep both renters and buyers active in the market. The typical discount to asking price (£3,500 (the typical achieved discount)) gives buyers some room to negotiate, but the market is not oversupplied. Investors who focus on properties that appeal to couples or young professionals could find Earl Shilton a rewarding choice, provided they are patient and realistic about short-term returns.
