A complete guide to property investment in Perton.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Perton sits quietly on the edge of the West Midlands, showing steady property market performance. The area has seen robust capital growth over the past year, with a one-year capital growth of 7.9% and an annualised rate over three years at 5.9%. Liquidity is reasonable, as properties typically spend about 42 days on the market, and the median discount to asking price is £2,750 (the typical achieved discount). Affordability is a relative strength, reflected in a price-to-income ratio of 4.8 and a rent-to-income ratio of 20.1%.
The area is dominated by owner-occupied and couple households (both in the top quartile nationally), with a large population aged sixty and over. This creates a market that is stable, if not particularly fast-moving or youth-driven.

Perton is likely to remain a steady performer rather than a hotspot for rapid gains. The recent capital growth of 7.9% and three-year track record of 18.8% suggest that price appreciation has been reliable, but the demographic mix points to stability over volatility. Investors looking for quick flips or high rental churn may find the local market slower than urban centres with younger populations.
That said, for those seeking long-term growth and consistent returns, the combination of median rental yields of 4.0%, strong owner-occupier demand, and reasonable affordability metrics offers reassurance. The next twelve months should see more of the same: steady, incremental growth, with few surprises either way.
