Property investment stats for Tamworth, West Midlands

• Rental yields are attractive at 5.3%, with the top-performing postcode district delivering 5.3%.
• The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,195, while the median asking sale price is £270,000, supporting healthy returns for landlords.
• Liquidity is decent, with 1,034 transactions a year and properties typically selling after 47 days on the market.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -2.5%, which may signal short-term volatility or cooling demand.
• The area has a relatively low proportion of degree-educated residents (in the 9th percentile) and professionals (in the 16th percentile), which could limit long-term wage growth and tenant profiles.
• The private rented sector is in the 26th percentile nationally, so investor competition is limited but so is overall rental demand.

Looking ahead, Tamworth offers a mildly positive environment for property investors. The annualised growth over three years stands at 2.6%, with total three-year capital growth of 8.0% — not spectacular, but steady enough for those with a long-term view. Rental demand is likely to remain supported by the area's strong family and couple demographics, and affordability looks sustainable given the 4.8 ratio.

While short-term price movements have been mixed, the underlying fundamentals suggest Tamworth will continue to attract buyers and renters who value stability and reasonable costs. With properties selling at a median discount of £2,000 (the typical achieved discount), there is some room for negotiation, which can benefit savvy investors. I expect Tamworth to offer slow but steady returns, especially for landlords focused on income rather than quick capital gains.
