Property investment stats for Ripley (Amber Valley), East Midlands

• The average rental yield of 5.7% is attractive for investors seeking income, with the top postcode district achieving up to 5.3%.
• The median price per square foot of £235 per sq ft and median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £270,000 provide a relatively low entry point for the region.
• Properties are selling in 53 days, suggesting that liquidity is healthy and investors can expect reasonable transaction times.

• Capital growth over the last year changed by -0.1%, so short-term appreciation may be limited compared to the previous three years.
• The area has a high proportion of older residents (in the 75th percentile for over-60s), which could affect long-term rental demand.
• The proportion of private rented housing is in the 27th percentile, indicating a market less dominated by renters than other areas.

Ripley's outlook for the next twelve months is steady, with no dramatic shifts on the horizon. The combination of a 5.7% yield and a price-to-income ratio of 4.9 should continue to underpin demand from both investors and local buyers.

While capital growth has slowed recently, the three-year rate of 18.2% shows there is potential for longer-term appreciation if market conditions improve. Rental demand is likely to remain stable given the moderate rent-to-income ratio of 21.0%, and liquidity should stay reasonable with properties selling in 53 days. Investors can expect a market that rewards patience and careful selection rather than speculative short-term gains.
