Property investment stats for Haggerston, East London

• The average rental yield of 5.6% is robust for London, with the top-performing postcode district offering 5.7%.
• Capital growth has been strong, with a 1-year increase of 10.4% and 3-year growth at 7.5%.
• The high proportion of young professionals and single occupiers creates stable demand for flats, particularly two-bedroom units with a current median asking rent of £2,720.

• Affordability is stretched, as shown by the price-to-income ratio of 8.6 and rent-to-income ratio of 44.0%, which may limit the pool of new buyers.
• The dominance of private and social renting means turnover can be high, and owner-occupier demand is limited (in the 1st percentile nationally).
• The market is highly competitive, with properties typically selling at or near the asking price (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), leaving little room for negotiation.

Looking ahead, Haggerston's market is likely to remain attractive for investors seeking reliable rental income and solid capital growth. The annualised growth over three years sits at 2.4%, suggesting the area has delivered steady returns even beyond the recent spike. With a young, professional population and a high proportion of renters, demand for quality rental properties should stay strong.

Affordability may remain a challenge for would-be buyers, but this underpins rental demand and supports the current yield levels. Investors should expect liquidity to remain healthy, given the current annual sales volume of 100 and the average time on market. In short, Haggerston offers a compelling mix of stability and growth potential, as long as investors are comfortable with the local market's unique demographic and tenure profile.
