Bottom Line
✅ Lye (Affordable)
• Modest entry at £190k
• Low crime 84/1k
• Close to Stourbridge amenities
• Potential for value-add near Lye town centre
⚠️ Hagley (Premium)
• £500k-£900k — not an investment market
• Yields ~2.5% — negative cashflow
• Green belt — limited development
• Owner-occupier territory only
📊 Strategy
• Lye only — ignore Hagley for investment
• Focus on terraces near Lye station
• BTL 2-bed at £160k = 5% yield
• Not a priority area vs DY2/DY4/DY5
Verdict: WATCHLIST 🟡
— Lye has potential but Hagley skews the data. Focus on Lye terraces only. Not a priority over DY2/DY4/DY5.
