Should you invest in Royal Leamington Spa?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong rental yields of 5.6%, particularly appealing given the high student and professional population.
  • Capital growth over the past year has been healthy at 4.6%, and the three-year figure of 10.3% suggests sustained demand.
  • Properties are selling at or above asking price, as indicated by a median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount), reflecting competitive buyer interest.

Risks

  • The dominance of the private rented sector in the 81st percentile could mean greater competition for tenants.
  • The area has a relatively low proportion of owner-occupiers, which may impact long-term stability in the local market.
  • With a high student population, void periods can be more pronounced outside term time.

Outlook

Over the next 12 months, Royal Leamington Spa looks set to maintain its appeal among investors seeking a mix of reliable rental income and capital appreciation. The combination of 3.3% annualised growth over three years and brisk sales activity at 666 per year suggests that liquidity will remain healthy.

Rental demand should hold up, particularly given the area's position in the 92nd percentile for residents aged 20 to 30 and the 79th percentile for degree-educated adults. However, the high reliance on private rentals and students means investors will need to keep a close eye on tenant churn. Overall, the fundamentals remain robust, but the market will reward those who are proactive and selective in their approach.
