Should you invest in Littleport?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 4.4% is attractive for investors seeking income, with even higher returns of 4.6% in the top performing postcode district.
  • Littleport's annualised growth over three years of 3.7% shows the potential for steady long-term capital appreciation.
  • The relatively low rent-to-income ratio of 22.0% means rents are still affordable for most local tenants, supporting stable demand.

Risks

  • The market has seen a 1-year capital growth of -2.7%, so short-term price trends have not been positive.
  • With only 138 properties sold annually, liquidity may be limited, making it harder to exit quickly if needed.
  • The private rental sector is in the lower percentiles nationally, so scaling a rental portfolio could be challenging.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Littleport is likely to benefit from its strong appeal to families and couples, which supports demand for three-bedroom houses. The current median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house is £287,500, with typical rents at £1,225, making the numbers work for investors focused on income.

While short-term capital growth has changed by -2.7%, the three-year trend of 11.6% suggests that the area still offers long-term potential. With a high proportion of owner-occupiers and limited private renting, investors may find less competition but also less tenant churn. Overall, Littleport looks set for steady, if unspectacular, performance over the next twelve months.
