Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

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.

Should you invest in Measham?

Opportunities

  • Investors can find attractive entry points thanks to the median sale price of a 2-bedroom flat at £89,950 and a 3-bedroom house at £255,000.
  • The top postcode district rental yield of 4.8% suggests that certain pockets of Measham offer stronger returns for buy-to-let investors.
  • A rent-to-income ratio of 18.1% points to a rental market that is accessible for tenants, supporting ongoing demand.

Risks

  • The capital growth over 1 year of -0.5% shows that price momentum has recently changed, which may signal a period of stagnation or adjustment.
  • With annual sales at 52, overall transaction volumes are low, which could affect liquidity for investors needing a quick exit.
  • The degree-educated and professionals population percentiles (16th and 21st) are both on the low side, which may limit the pool of higher-earning tenants or buyers.

Outlook

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.
