Location
The historic town of Tamworth; a welcoming Staffordshire town which strikes a careful balance between quaint character and modern convenience. The area is remarkably well connected, with Birmingham, Stafford, Stoke, Derby, Coventry and the Black Country well within commuting distance.
The centre of town is home to the convenient Ankerside Shopping Centre which features a wide selection of shops and eateries. A choice of large supermarkets can also be found near the town centre, and to the south there’s the Ventura Retail Park, a huge retail and activity destination catering to an array of tastes. Tamworth’s residents benefit from the rivers Anker and Tame running through the town, as well as the nearby Kingsbury Water Park; all excellent for relaxing waterside walks. Tamworth’s Snowdome provides skiing and snowboarding all year round, as well as a spa and gym under the same roof. The nearby Namco Funscape provides great opportunities for family days out and Drayton Manor Theme Park is only 4 miles from the development.
Tamworth is a great place for budding historians. A stone’s throw from the bustling town centre you can find the Norman-era Castle, the elegant Town Hall, and the Grade I listed St Editha’s Church. A vibrant and diverse selection of restaurants and pubs for evenings out can be found in Tamworth. The Assembly Rooms hosts a range of performing arts productions, including music, drama and comedy. There is a multiplex cinema to the south of town, and seasonal events also take place at the picturesque Tamworth Castle.
There are a variety of schools nearby. Young children have a good selection of infants and junior schools in the area; older students are served by the Rawlett School, Landau Forte Academy QEMS, Tamworth Sixth Form Academy or South Staffordshire College. University education can be found in nearby Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Stoke.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
