Property investment stats for East Boldon and West Boldon, North East

• The price-to-income ratio of 3.5 indicates better affordability than many other parts of the country, which may attract both first-time buyers and families upgrading their homes.
• With owner-occupation in the 80th percentile and families in the 75th percentile, the area appeals to long-term residents, supporting price stability.
• The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £339,950, while the median rent for a similar property is £895, providing options for both buyers and landlords seeking stable, family-oriented tenancies.

• Capital growth has been modest, with a 1-year growth of 1.5% and annualised growth over 3 years at 0.3%, so investors seeking rapid appreciation may be disappointed.
• Liquidity is steady but not fast, with homes taking a median of 54 days to sell and a typical discount of £1,688 (the typical achieved discount) from asking prices, which could affect exit strategies.
• The low proportion of private rented housing (2nd percentile) means limited demand from renters, which may restrict yields and the pool of prospective tenants.

Looking ahead, East Boldon and West Boldon are likely to continue offering slow and steady market performance. Families and older residents dominate the demographic, and the high owner-occupancy rate supports long-term stability. While capital growth has only changed by 1.5% over the past year and 0.3% annualised over three years, the area’s affordability and family appeal should underpin continued demand from buyers.

Rental investors may find fewer opportunities due to the very low proportion of private renting, but for those focused on long-term owner-occupation, the outlook remains positive. With a median discount of £1,688 (the typical achieved discount) still common, buyers may have room to negotiate. Overall, the area suits investors looking for predictability and lower risk rather than rapid gains.
