Over the next year, Thurmaston’s property market is likely to remain steady, supported by its high owner-occupier base and strong family presence. While short-term capital growth has changed by -4.1%, the three-year trend of 15.7% indicates resilience over the medium term. Rental demand should hold up given the area’s affordability and the average rental yield of 4.7%.
Buyers can expect some negotiating power, with a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) off asking prices, and the local market’s price-to-income ratio of 5.8 keeps entry relatively accessible. Investors should keep an eye on liquidity, but overall, Thurmaston looks set to offer a balanced mix of stability and opportunity for those with a patient approach.
