A complete guide to property investment in Thurcroft.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Thurcroft offers investors a rare combination of strong recent price momentum and relative affordability. Over the past year, capital values have changed by 14.5%, and over three years the change has been 15.3%, which is reflected in an annualised growth rate of 4.8%. The median price per square foot sits at £170 per sq ft, which is noticeably accessible compared to many other parts of the region. Liquidity is reasonable, with homes spending an average of 89 days on the market and annual sales at 64.
Affordability is underpinned by a price-to-income ratio of 4.0, which is on the lower side for Britain, making this area attractive for both investors and buyers.

The next year looks promising for Thurcroft, given the strong momentum in capital values and continued affordability. With a price-to-income ratio of 4.0, the area remains accessible for both investors and local buyers, which should help support demand.
Rental yields in the top-performing district are currently 5.4%, and with a median asking rent for a 2-bedroom flat at £650, the rental market appears stable. However, the high proportion of social rented housing and elevated unemployment do introduce some caution. Overall, I expect Thurcroft to remain a solid option for investors who value growth and affordability, but it will be important to keep an eye on local economic trends.
