Last updated: 10 January 2026
Robin Hood stands out for its blend of strong rental yields and steady capital growth, making it an attractive choice for property investors. The area’s average rental yield of 5.3% is notably competitive, and the capital growth over the past year of 5.2% supports the case for both income and long-term appreciation. With a median price per square foot of £634 per sq ft, affordability is on the challenging side, but this is typical for London and reflects the area's appeal to professionals and students.

Robin Hood’s property market is likely to remain resilient, thanks to its popularity with students and professionals and its high proportion of private renters. The annual sales figure of 135 shows steady turnover, and the three-year capital growth of 3.4% points to stable, if unspectacular, long-term returns.
Affordability will continue to be a challenge, but this is par for the course in London and doesn’t seem to deter demand. Investors should expect moderate growth and reliable rental income rather than rapid gains. Overall, Robin Hood looks set to offer a balance of income and capital stability over the next year.
