Property investment stats for Barrow-in-Furness, North West

• Rental yields are a clear highlight, with an average of 7.5% and the top postcode district achieving 8.7%, which is strong for the region.
• Investors can expect to negotiate, as the median discount to asking price is £2,450 (the typical achieved discount), potentially giving buyers an edge.
• The current median asking rents for both three-bedroom houses (£895) and two-bedroom flats (£875) look attractive compared to asking prices.

• The local population has a relatively low proportion of degree-educated residents (in the 19th percentile) and professionals (in the 29th percentile), which could limit long-term rental growth.
• The student population is low (in the 10th percentile), so demand from this group is not a major driver.
• Households are skewed towards single occupiers (92nd percentile), which may affect demand for larger family homes.

Looking ahead, Barrow-in-Furness offers a stable environment for property investors. The annualised growth over three years sits at 2.1%, pointing to slow but steady progress. With strong rental yields and affordable entry points, the fundamentals appear sound for those seeking income rather than rapid capital appreciation.

Liquidity should remain decent given the average days on market and sales volume, and the ability to negotiate on price adds to the appeal. While the area may not see explosive growth, the combination of yield, affordability and stable demand from single occupiers creates a solid foundation for the coming year.
