A complete guide to property investment in Red Lodge.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Red Lodge sits in a unique position with a notably young and family-oriented population — couples and families are in the very top percentiles compared to the rest of Britain, while the population aged 60 and over is almost non-existent. The area has a strong presence of private renters, but owner-occupation is less common than in most places. Investors will notice the average rental yield of 5.6% is attractive, and the median asking sale price for a three-bedroom house stands at £299,998. The rental market is lively, with a typical three-bedroom house asking £1,350 and two-bedroom flats at £1,250. Sales activity is brisk, with properties averaging just 35 days on the market and a modest median discount of £3,500 (the typical achieved discount).

Looking ahead, Red Lodge is likely to remain a rental hotspot given its youthful demographic and strong appeal to families and couples. The high proportion of private renters should continue to support demand, and the quick sales cycle — properties selling in just 35 days — suggests liquidity will stay healthy.
However, with capital growth at just 0.4% over the past year and 0% annualised over three years, price appreciation is likely to be slow. Investors may find the best opportunities by focusing on income rather than capital gains. Affordability remains a positive, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.4, so first-time buyers and young families may continue to be active in the market. Overall, Red Lodge looks set for steady, if unspectacular, performance — ideal for those seeking reliable rental income in a dynamic community.
