Here are five reasons why Shrewsbury continues to stand out for property investment in 2025.

1. Strong and consistent rental demand

The rental market in Shrewsbury remains busy year-round. Demand is driven by a mix of professionals, young families and students from nearby colleges and the University Centre Shrewsbury.

Properties in areas like Monkmoor, Radbrook Green and Copthorne are particularly popular with tenants, offering great access to schools, shops and transport links. Well-presented two and three-bedroom homes are especially sought after, with many properties letting quickly after coming to market.

2. A growing local economy

Shrewsbury continues to attract new employers and investment, boosting the local economy and housing demand. Its strong retail, healthcare and education sectors, along with its proximity to Telford and Wolverhampton, make it a natural hub for professionals.

For landlords, this means a reliable pool of tenants and long-term rental stability.

3. Great transport and commuter links

The town’s position makes it ideal for commuters. With the A5 and M54 nearby and a direct train line to Birmingham, Chester and Manchester, Shrewsbury attracts people who want a relaxed lifestyle without giving up easy travel connections.

This commuter appeal helps keep both the sales and rental markets buoyant.

4. Character and quality of homes

Shrewsbury’s property mix is one of its biggest selling points. From period townhouses and riverside apartments to modern family homes on new developments, there’s something to suit every investor’s strategy.

Whether you’re buying your first rental property or adding to an existing portfolio, there are strong opportunities across the town, especially for homes that offer energy efficiency, off-road parking, or outdoor space.
