Should you invest in Ackworth Moor Top?

Opportunities

  • Rental yields are attractive, especially in the top-performing postcode district where yields reach 5.6%.
  • The three-year capital growth of 12.4% and annualised growth of 4.0% suggest that those with a longer-term view have seen positive returns.
  • With a high proportion of couples and families, demand for three-bedroom houses at the median asking rent of £1,000 is likely to remain steady.

Risks

  • The one-year capital growth has changed by -5.4%, which may concern those focused on short-term gains.
  • Rental yields, while solid in some areas, average 3.8% overall, which could be less appealing for yield-focused investors.
  • The relatively low proportion of private rented housing (31st percentile) may limit opportunities for expanding rental portfolios.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Ackworth Moor Top is likely to remain attractive for value-driven buyers and investors. The strong owner-occupier base and high proportion of couples point to ongoing demand for family homes, especially at the current median price and rent levels for three-bedroom houses.

While short-term capital growth has been negative, the three-year picture shows resilience, and sellers are still achieving their asking prices. Rental demand should hold up, particularly in the best-yielding postcode districts, though overall yields may not excite every investor. The area’s stability and affordability suggest a steady, if unspectacular, outlook for the next year.
