A lower purchase price matters because it changes how much rental income you get back relative to what you spent. This is measured as gross rental yield: the rent collected over a year, shown as a percentage of what the property cost to buy, before management fees, insurance or maintenance are taken off. A higher gross yield means more rental income is coming back to you each year relative to your purchase price.
As of July 2026, the average monthly rent in Walsall was £916. By property type, this ranged from £648 for a 1-bedroom home to £945 for a 3-bedroom home, with 4-bedroom homes averaging £1,316 a month.
Prosperity Wealth’s own Tameway Plaza development, in Walsall town centre, achieved a gross rental yield of 6.6% on its 1-bedroom apartments and 6.3% on its 2-bedroom apartments. In practical terms, a 1-bedroom apartment bought for £107,995 and renting for £600 a month brings in £7,200 a year in rent, which is where the 6.6% figure comes from. Yields at this level are a big part of what makes Walsall property investment worth a closer look.

The projects include the Connected Gateway, which will turn the Saddlers Centre into a public transport hub, the Guildhall Creative Industries Enterprise Centre and a new Adult Learning Centre.

Walsall Council also forecasts that the borough’s population will grow by 25,000 people by 2050, which points to continued demand for housing in the years ahead.
