Property investment stats for Alsager, North West

• Rental yields are solid, with the top postcode district achieving 5.0%, which is above the area average of 3.8%.
• Properties are moving at a steady pace, with an average of 57 days from listing to sale, suggesting decent liquidity for sellers.
• The degree-educated population is in the 70th percentile and professionals and managers in the 75th, which helps underpin stable demand for quality homes.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -3.7%, so investors should be cautious about relying on short-term price increases.
• The rental market is small, with private renting in just the 7th percentile, which may limit options for investors seeking to expand portfolios quickly.
• The population skews older, with those aged 60+ in the 84th percentile, so demand from younger renters and first-time buyers may be less robust than in more youthful markets.

Looking ahead, Alsager’s fundamentals suggest a steady, if unspectacular, environment for property investors. The annualised three-year growth rate of 1.5% and three-year capital growth of 4.6% show that the area has managed modest gains, even if the most recent year saw prices change by -3.7%.

Affordability is likely to remain a selling point, with the median asking price for a two-bedroom flat at £217,500 and typical rents for the same at £795. Liquidity should hold up, given the annual sales volume of 221 and a typical time on market of 57 days. Investors here are unlikely to see fireworks, but the fundamentals look sound for those seeking long-term stability and a reliable tenant base.
