A complete guide to property investment in Raunds.

Raunds sits quietly in the East Midlands, with property values that have changed by -5.1% over the past year but grown a total of 6.8% across three years. The area’s housing market is marked by a median price per square foot of £278 per sq ft, and buyers can expect a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) on final sale prices. Liquidity is moderate, with properties spending an average of 69 days on the market and annual sales totalling 145.
Affordability is a relative bright spot, as the price-to-income ratio sits at 5.4, while the rent-to-income ratio is 22.4%, both pointing to a market that is not excessively stretched for local earners. The area is dominated by owner-occupiers, with a high proportion of couples and a population that skews older.

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.
