Should you invest in Huntingdon?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from the 5.5% average rental yield, which is supported by a strong private rental sector in the 66th percentile nationally.
  • The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £290,000, while the median rent for the same property is £1,362, offering attractive entry points and income potential.
  • Properties in Huntingdon are currently achieving their asking price, as shown by a £0 (the typical achieved discount) median discount, suggesting robust buyer demand and limited need for negotiation.

Risks

  • Capital growth has changed by 0.9% over the past year, which may not excite those seeking rapid short-term gains.
  • The area has a higher proportion of social rented housing, in the 72nd percentile, which could signal a more regulated rental environment for some property types.
  • The owner-occupied housing rate is in the 27th percentile, implying a market more reliant on renters, which can be sensitive to changes in local employment or demographics.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Huntingdon’s investment landscape appears stable, with yields and affordability metrics pointing towards ongoing demand from renters and buyers alike. The area’s price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios (at 4.5 and 19.8%) suggest that the market is not overheated, giving investors some reassurance on sustainability.

With properties spending a median of 50 days on the market and achieving their asking prices, liquidity should remain solid if current trends persist. While capital growth has changed by 0.9% over the last year, the three-year annualised rate of 2.4% indicates a pattern of gradual appreciation rather than boom-and-bust. Investors can expect a mildly positive outlook, especially for those focusing on rental income and long-term stability.
