The outlook for Selston remains quietly upbeat. Capital values have shown a consistent upward trend, with an annualised three-year growth of 4.8%, suggesting a market that rewards patience rather than speculation. Given the strong owner-occupation and high demand from families and couples, the area is likely to remain stable and insulated from the more dramatic swings seen elsewhere.
Rental yields in the top postcode district are attractive at 5.3%, and with asking prices and rents for 3-bedroom homes at £260,000 and £1,000 respectively, the fundamentals look sound. However, investors should keep an eye on demographic trends, as the area’s older population and lower professional presence may shape future demand. All told, Selston offers a calm, steady ride for those looking to invest without the drama.
