Should you invest in Staveley?

Opportunities

  • Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.7%, particularly in the top-performing postcode district, which delivers 5.6%.
  • The area has seen capital growth over one year of 2.3% and annualised growth over three years of 5.4%, indicating solid recent performance.
  • The current median asking rent for a three-bedroom house is £912, providing attractive returns relative to local purchase prices.

Risks

  • The degree-educated population sits in the 8th percentile, and the professionals and managers group is in the 14th percentile, which could limit upward pressure on rents and prices.
  • Private rented housing is in the 15th percentile, so rental demand may be less robust than in more renter-heavy markets.
  • The social rented housing percentile is high at 88, which may affect the character and desirability of certain neighbourhoods for private landlords.

Outlook

The outlook for Staveley is quietly encouraging. With capital growth over three years of 17.1% and a market that typically clears in 48 days, investors can expect ongoing stability. The median achieved minus asking price of £2,450 (the typical achieved discount) suggests that sellers are achieving prices close to their expectations, supporting confidence among buyers and sellers alike.

While the area does not have the strongest professional or highly educated tenant base, affordability and rental yields remain competitive. For those seeking steady returns in a market with a strong family presence and relatively low entry costs, Staveley deserves consideration.
