A complete guide to property investment in Ledbury.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Ledbury is a market town that stands out for its slower pace and mature demographic, with a population aged 60 and over in the 92nd percentile nationally. The property market here is steady, with annual sales at 155 and an average time on market of 61 days. The median price per square foot sits at £325 per sq ft, and the price-to-income ratio of 5.5 keeps affordability within reach for many buyers, especially compared to pricier urban centres. However, capital growth over the past year has changed by -3.9%, which tempers expectations for short-term gains.
For those looking at longer horizons, three-year capital growth of 7.1% (annualised at 2.3%) suggests modest but positive progress.

Looking ahead, Ledbury’s property market is likely to continue its steady, measured pace. The high proportion of older residents and single occupier households in the 84th percentile means demand may remain stable but is unlikely to surge from younger buyers or families.
Rental yields are not headline-grabbing at 3.5%, but the affordability metrics and modest discounts suggest there is still value to be found for investors who are patient. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending an average of 61 days before selling.
Overall, I expect Ledbury to offer slow but steady returns, particularly for those who value income over rapid capital growth.
