Property investment stats for Eckington (North East Derbyshire), East Midlands

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 4.6% and a solid rental market, especially in the top postcode district yielding 4.3%.
• The area’s annualised growth over three years of 5.6% suggests that capital appreciation has been resilient over the medium term.
• With a price-to-income ratio of 4.0, affordability is a key draw for both buyers and renters, broadening the potential tenant pool.

• The capital growth over the last year changed by -1.9%, which could signal some short-term volatility or cooling in the market.
• The private rented housing percentile is in the 15th percentile, so the rental market is smaller than in many other areas, potentially limiting tenant choice.
• The degree-educated population is in the 9th percentile, which may affect the profile of tenants and long-term demand for higher-end rentals.

Looking ahead over the next twelve months, Eckington’s property market is likely to remain stable, with affordability underpinning both purchase and rental demand. The annual sales figure of 91 and average days on market of 47 days suggest a market that moves at a healthy pace without overheating. Although the capital growth over the last year changed by -1.9%, the three-year trend of 17.7% indicates that the area has delivered good returns for patient investors.

The relatively high proportion of older residents (in the 78th percentile for those aged 60+) and a strong presence of single-occupier households may shape rental demand towards smaller, more manageable properties. With a cheerful outlook on affordability and steady rental yields, I expect Eckington to continue attracting investors looking for value and resilience rather than rapid growth.
