A complete guide to property investment in Measham.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Measham sits quietly within the East Midlands property market, offering a blend of affordability and moderate growth. The area’s price-to-income ratio of 3.9 suggests that buying is within reach for many local households, while the median price per square foot of £244 per sq ft keeps entry costs relatively low compared to national hotspots. Liquidity is steady, with properties spending an average of 53 days before selling and a modest £2,000 (the typical achieved discount) indicating buyers can still negotiate. The rental market offers a yield of 3.8%, which is not headline-grabbing but sits comfortably for a stable, low-risk investment.

Looking ahead, Measham seems set for steady if unspectacular returns. The annualised growth over 3 years of 3.3% shows a consistent pattern, and the capital growth over 3 years of 10.2% underlines that longer-term investors have seen respectable gains. Rental demand should remain stable, given the area’s affordability and the median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house at £975.
Liquidity is likely to stay moderate, with properties typically taking just over a month and a half to sell. Investors should expect a market that rewards patience and careful selection more than rapid turnover or aggressive price appreciation. In short, Measham offers a relatively safe harbour for those seeking reliable, middle-of-the-road performance rather than dramatic growth.
