Property investment stats for Kingswinford, West Midlands

A complete guide to property investment in Kingswinford.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Kingswinford is a settled, family-oriented area with a strong owner-occupier presence, placing it in the 89th percentile for this type of tenure. Homes here tend to sell briskly, with properties spending a median of 37 days on the market, and buyers typically negotiate a £4,000 (the typical achieved discount). The area’s price-to-income ratio at 5.0 suggests an accessible market for local earners, while the rent-to-income ratio of 22.1% keeps things manageable for tenants as well. Investors will note the three-year capital growth of 11.8%, with an annualised figure of 3.8%, pointing to steady, if unspectacular, appreciation.

Rental demand is underpinned by a predominantly older population (in the 78th percentile for over-60s) and a strong family presence, with families and couples both above the national median. The private rented sector is notably small (10th percentile), giving landlords a potential edge in a less saturated market.

Should you invest in Kingswinford?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield stands at 4.9%, with the top-performing postcode district achieving 5.4%, offering solid returns for buy-to-let investors.
  • The current median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,198, while the sale price is £275,000, presenting a favourable rent-to-value balance.
  • Properties spend a median of 37 days on the market, suggesting decent liquidity for those looking to buy and sell efficiently.

Risks

  • The private rented sector is in the 10th percentile, which means the pool of tenants is limited compared to other areas.
  • The area’s older demographic (78th percentile for over-60s) could mean less organic rental demand growth from young professionals or students.
  • Capital growth over one year is 2.3%, which may not excite those seeking rapid appreciation.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Kingswinford’s property market appears stable, with a strong owner-occupier base and a family-friendly demographic profile. The steady three-year capital growth of 11.8% (annualised at 3.8%) points to a market that rewards patience rather than speculation.

Rental yields, particularly in the top postcode district at 5.4%, should continue to appeal to investors seeking reliable income. While the limited size of the private rented sector could cap rental growth, it also means less competition for landlords. Overall, I see Kingswinford as a solid choice for long-term investors who value stability, reasonable affordability, and a dependable sales market.
