Should you invest in Killamarsh?

Opportunities

  • Strong recent capital growth, with a one-year figure of 7.2% and three-year growth of 17.7%, suggests potential for further appreciation.
  • The price-to-income ratio of 4.6 and median price per square foot of £233 per sq ft indicate homes are accessible for a wide range of buyers.
  • The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 4.3%, providing a reasonable return for buy-to-let investors.

Risks

  • The private rental sector is small, in the 8th percentile nationally, which may limit tenant demand and liquidity for rental properties.
  • The population has a high proportion aged 60 and over, in the 78th percentile, which could affect long-term rental demand and turnover.
  • Achieved prices match asking prices (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), so there may be limited scope for negotiation or value buys.

Outlook

The outlook for Killamarsh is steady rather than spectacular. With homes spending 56 days on the market and annual sales at 95, liquidity is decent but not brisk — investors should expect a measured pace. The dominance of owner-occupation and strong showing for families and couples means the area is likely to remain stable, even if rapid growth slows.

Affordability, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.6, should help support demand, while the recent capital growth of 7.2% over one year provides confidence for cautious optimism. Rental yields in the top postcode district are 4.3%, so while buy-to-let returns are not headline-grabbing, they are stable. Overall, Killamarsh looks set to offer reliable, if unspectacular, returns for those willing to play the long game.
