A complete guide to property investment in Marston Moretaine.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Marston Moretaine sits in a part of the country where families and couples dominate the local landscape, with families in the 98th percentile and couples in the 96th percentile compared to other areas. The area has a high rate of owner-occupation, suggesting a settled community and perhaps less competition from investors for rental stock. Affordability looks reasonable, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.0, and the current median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house is £390,000. Over the last year, capital growth changed by -5.1%, but looking over three years, growth stands at 11.5% (annualised at 3.7%).

Looking ahead, Marston Moretaine seems likely to continue attracting families and couples, given the demographic profile and the prevalence of owner-occupied homes. The area’s affordability, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.0, could help support steady demand, especially as the wider market adjusts to changing economic conditions.
Rental yields in the top local district stand at 5.1%, which may offer some comfort for income-focused investors, though the overall private rented sector is quite small. Sales volumes, at 112 per year, suggest a moderate level of activity, and properties are taking a median of 74 days to sell. While short-term capital growth has softened, the three-year picture is more positive, so a measured, long-term approach may be sensible here.
