Should you invest in Raunds?

Opportunities

  • Investors can achieve strong rental yields of 4.1% across Raunds, with the top-performing district offering an even higher return of 5.2%.
  • The median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) on sales suggests room for negotiation and potential value buys.
  • With a price-to-income ratio of 5.4, Raunds offers a more accessible entry point for buyers compared to many other regions.

Risks

  • The one-year capital growth figure of -5.1% highlights that prices have changed recently, which may concern those seeking short-term appreciation.
  • Sales volumes are modest at 145, so liquidity may be limited for those looking to exit quickly.
  • Rental demand may not be as robust as in larger urban centres, given the private rented housing percentile of 32 and a population skewed toward older age groups.

Outlook

The next year in Raunds is likely to see steady, if unspectacular, movement. With annualised growth over three years at 2.2%, the market seems to favour slow and steady gains rather than rapid swings.

Affordability should continue to underpin demand, as local incomes are not severely outpaced by either sale or rental prices. However, with a strong owner-occupier presence and a high proportion of couples, the pace of turnover may remain measured. Investors will need to balance the appeal of 4.1% yields against the reality of moderate liquidity and limited short-term capital growth. All told, Raunds presents a stable proposition for those with patience and a focus on income rather than quick flips.
