Property investment stats for Clayton-le-Moors, North West

• The area offers strong rental yields, with the average at 5.6% and the top-performing postcode district achieving 6.8%.
• Rapid sales, with properties spending just 35 days on the market and a median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount), indicate high demand and good liquidity for investors.
• Affordability is a key draw, as shown by the low price-to-income ratio of 3.3, making entry easier for both first-time buyers and seasoned landlords.

• The local population has a relatively low proportion of degree-educated residents (in the 34th percentile), which could affect long-term tenant demand from higher-income groups.
• The area has an older demographic, with people aged 60+ in the 65th percentile, which may influence the types of properties and amenities in demand.
• The family household proportion is in the 35th percentile, suggesting that demand for larger family homes may be more limited than in some other areas.

Looking ahead, Clayton-le-Moors is well positioned for continued growth. The recent capital growth of 16.0% over the past year, and 7.0% annualised over three years, points to a resilient market that is attracting both buyers and renters. With properties selling at or above asking price and staying on the market for just 35 days, liquidity remains a major strength.

Rental demand is likely to stay strong, given the high proportion of private renters and the attractive yields on offer. While the area’s demographic profile may limit certain types of demand, affordability and ongoing price growth should keep investor interest high over the next 12 months.
