Property investment stats for Rainworth, East Midlands

• Investors benefit from strong rental yields of 6.0%, which are competitive for the region.
• The area has experienced notable capital growth of 6.1% in the past year, and 17.3% over three years, indicating momentum.
• Affordability is appealing, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.2 and a rent-to-income ratio of 24.5%, which supports tenant demand and reduces entry barriers.

• The population is less professionally qualified, with the degree-educated and professionals/managerial groups both only in the low teens percentile, which may limit future wage growth.
• The market's liquidity, with 42 days on average, is reasonable but not especially fast-moving, so quick exits may not always be possible.
• The area is not a student hub, with the student population only in the 42nd percentile, so investors relying on student lets may find limited demand.

The next 12 months in Rainworth look steady, with the potential for further price appreciation given the annualised growth of 5.5% and the recent capital growth of 6.1%. The area's popularity with couples and families, both in the 98th and 50th percentiles respectively, supports continued demand for traditional rental properties.

Rental yields should remain attractive if current trends hold, especially as the owner-occupied market remains strong and private renting sits in the middle percentile range. Affordability metrics suggest the market is unlikely to overheat, while the median achieved price matching the asking price (£0 (the typical achieved discount)) hints at stable negotiations. Investors should expect moderate but reliable returns, rather than explosive growth, making Rainworth a solid choice for those seeking balance and stability.
