Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

North Wingfield and Holmewood offer a blend of affordability and recent growth that stands out in the East Midlands. The area’s price-to-income ratio of 4.7 points to homes that are accessible for local buyers, while a median price per square foot of £238 per sq ft keeps entry costs manageable. Investors will note the capital growth over the past three years of 16.2%, with an annualised rate of 5.1%, suggesting a solid upward trend.

Should you invest in North Wingfield and Holmewood?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong rental yields of 6.3%, which should appeal to income-focused investors.
  • Recent capital growth of 2.4% over one year and 16.2% over three years suggests there is potential for further price appreciation.
  • The median sale price for a two-bedroom flat at £90,000 is relatively low, offering a cost-effective entry point for new investors.

Risks

  • The student population is in the 11th percentile and the degree-educated population is in the 15th percentile nationally, which could limit demand for higher-spec rental stock.
  • The private rented sector is in the 20th percentile compared to Britain, meaning rental demand may be more limited than in urban centres.
  • The population aged 60+ is in the 72nd percentile, raising questions about long-term demographic shifts and housing needs.

Outlook

The area’s property market looks set to remain stable, with affordability metrics like the price-to-income ratio of 4.7 and rent-to-income ratio of 25.5% offering a buffer against sharp corrections. Continued capital growth of 2.4% over the past year and annualised growth of 5.1% over three years suggest that steady gains are likely to continue, though perhaps at a more subdued pace.

Liquidity should remain reasonable, given the days on market at 46 days and a healthy volume of 189 transactions annually. For investors seeking income, the rental yield of 6.3% is likely to remain attractive. However, with a relatively older population and less demand from young professionals or students, future growth may depend on broader shifts in local employment and amenities.
