Should you invest in Egremont?

Opportunities

  • The current median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house is £205,000, offering attractive entry points for family-oriented investors.
  • Rental investors may be interested in the low median asking rent for a two-bedroom flat at £612, which may appeal to single occupiers (in the 87th percentile) or smaller households.
  • The strong one-year capital growth of 3.8% hints at recent momentum and potential for further gains.

Risks

  • Capital growth over three years has only changed by 1.0%, with an annualised rate of 0.3%, indicating limited long-term appreciation so far.
  • The area has a high proportion of social rented housing (in the 83rd percentile), which could limit demand from private renters or buyers.
  • The population is older (with those aged 60+ in the 76th percentile), so demographic change may affect future demand.

Outlook

Egremont’s property market looks stable for the next year, with recent capital growth of 3.8% providing a boost to investor confidence. The low price-to-income ratio of 2.6 and brisk sales suggest continued affordability and liquidity, which should help underpin demand.

However, long-term growth has been modest, with the three-year annualised rate at 0.3%. Investors should keep an eye on the area’s older population and high level of social renting, as these factors may shape future demand and supply. For those seeking value and steady returns rather than explosive growth, Egremont offers a sensible choice.
