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.
