Investment summary

New Ollerton and Ollerton offer a balance of affordability and rental returns that might appeal to investors looking for steady income, especially given the price-to-income ratio of 4.0 and the median price per sq ft of £188 per sq ft. The area’s average rental yield of 5.8% stands out, suggesting that buy-to-let investors could see a reasonable return relative to purchase prices.

Should you invest in New Ollerton and Ollerton?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 5.8% is attractive for investors seeking income, and the top postcode district yield of 5.4% further highlights buy-to-let potential.
  • Relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.0 points to good affordability for buyers, which can support demand and limit downside risk.
  • Steady liquidity with 147 annual sales and a typical sale closing in 54 days suggests investors can enter or exit the market without excessive delays.

Risks

  • The 1-year capital growth of -6.7% has changed by a notable margin, which could signal short-term volatility or price correction risk.
  • The area has a low proportion of professionals and degree-educated residents (in the 7th and 4th percentiles respectively), which may affect long-term capital appreciation.
  • The student and private rented sectors are not especially strong, so investors should not rely on these tenant groups to drive demand.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the market in New Ollerton and Ollerton offers a mix of stability and caution. The annualised growth over 3 years of 2.8% shows moderate momentum, but the recent 1-year capital growth of -6.7% suggests that prices have shifted and may take time to stabilise.

Affordability remains a key strength, with both sale and rent levels — such as the median sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £204,995 and the median rent for a 2-bedroom flat at £675 — remaining accessible for local incomes. Rental demand is likely to be supported by the area’s demographic profile, particularly among couples and younger households. Investors should expect income to be the main driver of returns in the near term, with capital growth likely to be more subdued.
