Last updated: 3 November 2025
Stamford is known for its historic charm and attracts buyers who value character and quality of life. The area’s property market has seen a capital growth over three years of 10.9%, which works out to an annualised growth of 3.5%. However, the past year has been more subdued, with capital growth over one year of -1.9%. The median price per square foot is £340 per sq ft, and liquidity is steady, with homes typically spending 58 days on the market before selling.
Affordability is middle-of-the-road, with a price-to-income ratio of 6.1 and a rent-to-income ratio of 24.7%. Investors can expect a rental yield of 4.4%, with the top-performing district offering 4.1%.

Looking ahead, Stamford’s property market is likely to remain stable, supported by a strong professional base (in the 64th percentile for professionals and managers) and its appeal to couples and single occupiers. The area’s three-year capital growth of 10.9% points to underlying resilience, but the most recent one-year figure of -1.9% suggests a pause in momentum.
Rental demand should remain consistent, given rental yields of 4.4% and a private rented sector in the 59th percentile. Pricing may continue to offer some flexibility, with a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) still available. While the older population may shape future demand, Stamford’s fundamentals suggest a balanced outlook for investors who are prepared for steady rather than spectacular returns.
