Should you invest in Werrington?

Opportunities

  • The area offers strong affordability for buyers, with a price-to-income ratio of 3.7 that is well below national averages.
  • Properties sell quickly, averaging just 28 days on the market, which speaks to healthy liquidity.
  • The top postcode district boasts a rental yield of 5.8%, which is attractive for investors who can find the right opportunities.

Risks

  • Private renting is rare here, sitting in the 1st percentile, so finding tenants may be a challenge for buy-to-let investors.
  • The population skews older, with those aged 60 and over in the 92nd percentile, potentially limiting future demand from younger renters or buyers.
  • Annual sales are modest at 73, so investors should be prepared for a relatively small and stable market.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Werrington seems likely to remain a market where owner-occupation dominates and rental opportunities are limited. The low price-to-income ratio and fast sales suggest that demand from buyers will stay healthy, especially among established households and couples (in the 91st percentile). While recent capital growth over the last year changed by -3.8%, the three-year trend is more encouraging, with total growth at 5.5% and annualised growth of 1.8%.

Rental yields in the top postcode district are solid at 5.8%, but the scarcity of private renters means investors will need to be selective. Overall, Werrington offers stability and accessibility, making it a sensible choice for those seeking long-term, low-risk investments rather than rapid short-term gains.
