Property investment stats for South Normanton and Pinxton, East Midlands

• The area’s rental yield of 5.6%, with top returns in DE55, is attractive for buy-to-let investors seeking steady income.
• Recent price performance, including a 1-year capital growth of 9.7%, hints at momentum that could benefit capital-focused buyers.
• Median asking prices — £235,000 for a 3-bedroom house and £112,000 for a 2-bedroom flat — remain accessible relative to many UK markets, supporting entry-level investment.

• The area’s professional and degree-educated population is in the lower percentiles, which may limit demand for higher-end rentals or sales.
• The achieved price is typically £2,500 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, suggesting some negotiation is needed to secure a sale.
• The student population is in the 15th percentile, so demand from this segment is limited compared to university towns.

Looking ahead, South Normanton and Pinxton appear poised for continued resilience. The combination of annualised 3-year growth of 4.0% and relatively quick sales at 54 days should appeal to investors seeking both stability and flexibility. The area’s affordability, as shown by the price-to-income ratio of 4.2 and median prices per square foot of £226 per sq ft, may help sustain buyer interest even if wider market conditions shift.

Rental demand is likely to remain solid, given the rent-to-income ratio of 19.2% and a strong showing for couples and families in the local household mix. Investors should expect steady, rather than spectacular, returns but with limited downside risk if current trends hold.
