Property investment stats for Runwell, East of England

• The average rental yield stands at 4.0%, and the top local postcode district offers a yield of 3.9%, providing stable income potential.
• The market has grown over three years, with a capital growth rate of 7.2% and an annualised growth of 2.4%, showing some long-term appreciation.
• The high owner-occupation rate (in the 94th percentile) and prevalence of families (in the 61st percentile) support demand for larger homes and long-term lets.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -2.3%, which may indicate short-term volatility or stagnation.
• Properties are selling with a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), so investors may need to price competitively or expect to negotiate.
• The private rented sector is in the 14th percentile, reflecting limited rental stock and potentially slower tenant demand.

Looking ahead, Runwell's property market is likely to remain steady rather than spectacular. With a high proportion of older residents and families, demand for rental property may not be as brisk as in more youthful or urban areas, but long-term tenants and low turnover can appeal to investors seeking stability.

Affordability remains reasonable, with a price-to-income ratio of 6.9 and a rent-to-income ratio of 28.2%, which should help underpin demand. Sales volumes and days on market suggest a balanced market, neither overheated nor sluggish. Investors can expect modest, sustainable returns in the next 12 months, rather than dramatic shifts in either direction.
