Property investment stats for Grantham, East Midlands

• Rental yields are attractive, with the average at 5.2% and the top postcode district delivering 5.2%.
• The market has shown solid capital growth over one and three years (2.9% and 16.0% respectively), indicating a trend of rising values.
• Asking rents for both three-bedroom houses (£925) and two-bedroom flats (£718) are competitive relative to local incomes.

• The private rented sector is in the 68th percentile, which means there is already a strong presence of landlords and potential competition for tenants.
• The proportion of degree-educated residents is in the 23rd percentile, which may affect demand for higher-end rental properties.
• Liquidity is decent but not exceptional, with properties spending 59 days on the market, so quick sales may not always be guaranteed.

Over the next year, Grantham’s property market is likely to remain steady, supported by the area’s affordability and the recent record of capital growth. The combination of a 5.2% average yield and a price-to-income ratio of 4.5 should continue to attract both investors and renters.

While there is solid demand, particularly for family homes and competitively priced flats, the strong presence of private landlords may keep rental competition high. If employment levels and population trends hold, investors can expect moderate but reliable performance. With asking prices and rents at their current levels, the outlook is mildly positive for those seeking balanced returns and manageable risk.
