Should you invest in Newark-on-Trent?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 5.5% is appealing for buy-to-let investors seeking strong income returns.
  • Newark-on-Trent's annual sales of 442 and days on market at 37 days point to a liquid market where investors can enter and exit efficiently.
  • The median sale price for a two-bedroom flat of £150,000 offers an affordable entry point for those looking to diversify or start a portfolio.

Risks

  • The degree-educated population is in the 19th percentile, which may limit the pool of higher-earning tenants or buyers over the long term.
  • Owner-occupied housing is in the 26th percentile, so the area is more reliant on the private and social rental sectors, which can be more volatile.
  • Families are in the 33rd percentile, suggesting demand for larger family homes could be weaker than in other markets.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Newark-on-Trent is positioned for steady rather than spectacular growth. The capital growth over one year stands at 3.2%, and the three-year annualised growth is 2.6%, both pointing to a consistent upward trend.

Affordability remains a strong point, with both sale and rent-to-income ratios of 4.2 and 19.6% making the area accessible to local residents. The balance between supply and demand looks stable, with no major red flags on liquidity or pricing. For investors seeking reliable yields and a straightforward rental market, Newark-on-Trent should stay on the radar over the next year.
