Eye is likely to remain a steady market, with affordability and rental yields continuing to underpin investor interest. While the one-year capital growth of -0.8% suggests the market has paused, the three-year and annualised growth figures of 13.6% and 4.3% reflect a solid foundation for long-term investors.
Rental demand should remain stable, particularly given the balance of private and social rented housing, and the median asking rents of £1,050 for a 3-bedroom house and N/A for a 2-bedroom flat. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties taking 82 days to sell. Overall, Eye offers a pragmatic choice for investors looking for income and long-term value rather than rapid price growth.
