Should you invest in Mountsorrel?

Opportunities

  • The area’s average rental yield is 4.4%, and the top-performing postcode district delivers 4.7%, which may appeal to income-focused investors.
  • A median asking sale price of £299,950 for a three-bedroom house and £140,000 for a two-bedroom flat offers entry points at different price levels.
  • With annual sales at 196 and properties spending a median of 46 days on the market, liquidity is reasonable for those who may need to exit or reposition assets.

Risks

  • The owner-occupied housing percentile is in the 82nd percentile, meaning there is limited private rented stock compared to other areas, which may restrict rental supply growth.
  • The median discount to asking price of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount) indicates that sellers are having to negotiate, which could reflect buyer caution or local oversupply.
  • The rent-to-income ratio of 19.2% suggests tenants may already be close to affordability limits, potentially capping future rent rises.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Mountsorrel’s property market is likely to remain stable. The recent capital growth of 5.7% and the three-year annualised rate of 4.2% suggest a consistent upward trend, rather than rapid gains or volatility. With a balanced price-to-income ratio and a reasonable level of activity, the fundamentals are supportive for investors seeking moderate, steady returns.

Rental yields remain competitive at 4.4%, though the relatively high owner-occupation rate limits rental sector expansion. Investors should expect modest price and rent growth, with affordability acting as a natural brake on runaway gains. Overall, Mountsorrel offers a measured, low-drama environment for long-term property investment.
