Should you invest in Maltby?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.7%, which are among the more attractive in the region.
  • The 1-year capital growth of 7.0% shows potential for short-term gains, especially compared to the more modest annualised growth over 3 years of 1.9%.
  • The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house of £200,000 and median asking rent for the same at £975 point to a favourable purchase-to-rent ratio for landlords.

Risks

  • The degree-educated population is in the 6th percentile and professionals and managers in the 10th percentile, which may limit demand from higher-income tenants or buyers in the future.
  • The unemployment rate is in the 75th percentile, suggesting some economic headwinds that could affect tenant reliability or market confidence.
  • Annualised capital growth over 3 years of 1.9% is more muted compared to the last 12 months, hinting at possible volatility or market correction risk.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Maltby’s property market is likely to remain supported by its affordability and balanced supply-demand dynamics. The median price per square foot of £176 per sq ft and current asking prices suggest there’s still value to be found, especially if wider regional growth continues. Rental demand should hold up, given the private rented housing percentile of 53 and the area’s appeal to families and couples, who are both well represented in the local demographic mix.

However, investors should keep an eye on the economic picture, as a higher unemployment percentile may introduce some uncertainty. Overall, Maltby appears to offer a measured mix of risk and reward: not a market for those seeking fireworks, but a sensible option for steady, income-focused investors.
