Should you invest in Marston Moretaine?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 5.1%, which could appeal to investors seeking income.
  • The median achieved price is £4,995 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, suggesting buyers have some negotiating power.
  • With families and couples making up a large portion of households, demand for larger homes is likely to remain steady.

Risks

  • Capital growth over the past year changed by -5.1%, so investors should be cautious about short-term price movements.
  • Properties spend a median of 74 days on the market, which could affect liquidity if you need to sell quickly.
  • The private rented sector is in the 10th percentile, meaning there are relatively few rental properties compared to other areas, which could limit rental demand or growth.

Outlook

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.
