Grantham rental market, what landlords need to know
Grantham is a market town in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, approximately 24 miles south of Lincoln and 25 miles east of Nottingham on the East Midlands Main Line. Direct trains to London King's Cross take approximately 70 minutes, making Grantham an increasingly attractive location for London commuters priced out of the Home Counties. Approximately 24% of all households are in the private rented sector. The rental market is driven by local employment in manufacturing, logistics, and public services, and by commuters who value the town's rail connections and significantly lower property prices than comparable towns in the East Midlands. Buy-to-let gross yields of 6-8% are above the regional average, reflecting the town's competitive property prices and strong rental demand. South Kesteven District Council is the local housing authority.
