Should you invest in Chadderton?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district for rental yield boasts a figure of 7.5%, making it a standout option for buy-to-let investors.
  • Family households are in the 90th percentile, indicating strong demand for larger homes and family-friendly properties.
  • The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,300, which, paired with the area's affordability, supports robust rental returns.

Risks

  • Unemployment is in the 80th percentile nationally, which could affect tenant stability and long-term demand.
  • The proportion of degree-educated residents and professionals is relatively low, both in the 18th percentile, potentially limiting demand from higher-income tenants or buyers.
  • Social rented housing is in the 65th percentile, which may impact the profile of the local rental market and competition for private landlords.

Outlook

The outlook for Chadderton remains positive, with ongoing demand driven by affordability and strong rental yields. The one-year capital growth of 1.2% suggests the area is still seeing price increases, albeit at a modest pace. With homes typically selling in 33 days, liquidity is good for investors who may need to exit.

Rental demand should remain resilient, given the high proportion of families and the appealing rent-to-income ratio of 26.6%. Investors can expect stable returns, especially if they focus on family homes or properties in the top-yielding districts. Overall, Chadderton is a solid choice for those seeking a mix of income and growth potential without sky-high entry costs.
