Tamworth has become one of Staffordshire’s most attractive towns for landlords. With its rich history, excellent commuter links, and relatively affordable property prices compared to Birmingham, it’s no surprise that investors are keeping a close eye on the area.
If you’re considering adding to your portfolio in 2025, here’s a closer look at where the best buy-to-let opportunities lie in Tamworth – and why the outlook is so promising.
Why Tamworth appeals to landlords
- Commuter convenience: Tamworth station offers fast links to Birmingham (20 minutes), Derby, and even London Euston in under 90 minutes.
- Affordable entry point: Property prices remain lower than Birmingham, giving landlords stronger yield potential.
- Tenant demand: The mix of families, young professionals, and commuters keeps rental demand steady year-round.
- Local lifestyle: From Ventura Retail Park to the Castle Grounds, tenants benefit from shopping, green space, and leisure facilities on the doorstep.
Rental market snapshot in 2025
According to Zoopla’s rental market report (2025), the West Midlands has seen average rents rise by 6.1% in the past year, with Tamworth broadly matching that trend.
- One-bed flats average £675–£725 PCM
- Two-bed terraces achieve £850–£950 PCM
- Three-bed semis command £1,100–£1,250 PCM
- Larger detached homes typically rent for £1,500+ PCM
Gross yields in Tamworth currently sit between 5.0% and 5.6%, outperforming Birmingham city centre, where higher property prices suppress yields.
Top buy-to-let areas in Tamworth
Glascote and Amington
These neighbourhoods offer good value entry points for landlords. Two- and three-bedroom terraces are popular with families and young professionals, with strong rental demand and yields often above 5.5%.
Fazeley
Close to the Birmingham–Fazeley canal and just outside the town centre, Fazeley combines character homes with modern builds. Its mix of affordability and commuter links makes it popular with tenants.
Wilnecote
With its own railway station and easy access to the M42, Wilnecote is a commuter favourite. Properties here, particularly family semis, let quickly.
Dosthill
This residential area offers a quieter lifestyle, good schools, and plenty of green space. Family homes are in demand, and larger properties attract tenants looking for longer-term rentals.
Town centre and Castle Grounds
Flats and smaller homes near the high street and Ventura Park are ideal for younger renters who want convenience and easy access to shops and nightlife.
What tenants in Tamworth want in 2025
If you’re looking to maximise your buy-to-let investment, here are the features tenants value most right now:
- Energy efficiency: With running costs front of mind, EPC ratings of C or above are increasingly important.
- Parking: Off-road parking or proximity to the station adds real appeal.
- Home office potential: Spare bedrooms or flexible layouts make properties more attractive to hybrid workers.
- Outdoor space: Gardens, balconies, or access to green areas remain high on tenant wish lists.
Long-term outlook for landlords
Tamworth’s affordability, combined with its connectivity and ongoing demand from families and professionals, means the buy-to-let market is likely to remain strong through 2025 and beyond. With limited rental stock across the West Midlands, landlords in Tamworth are well placed for both steady yields and potential capital growth.
